The Outcast: Tang Sect Orphanage, the Japanese Invaders' Nightmare

[Republican Era + Puppet Master + Dad Life + Character Growth + War of Resistance + Dual Transmigration, One Female Lead]

That year on Mian Mountain, the Ten Outstanding Tang Sect Masters faced off against the Head Ninja of Mount Hibi.

He said his name was Tang Jiaren, the Laughing King of Hell. I’ll never forget that scene.

At that moment, I thought: If I could become a member of the Tang Sect, I’d make sure to win it all.

Now that chance is right in front of me...

That’s right, the Tang Sect orphanage is ready.

[I! The director, Sasori of the Red Sand]

I make the finest puppets from the shoddiest materials, with remote control and real-time sharing of sight and sound.

I can make hand-to-hand combat as graceful as gymnastics and fling flashy hidden weapons just like Tang San.

I can switch places with my puppets at any time, making it impossible for gods or ghosts to guess where I’ll be next.

Once I activate the Performance of a Hundred Puppets, I control countless puppets and swarm my enemies, beating them to a pulp.

I’ll strike in the form of Sasori of the Red Sand! Aaaaaah!

[I! The deputy director, the explosive genius]

Paper takes a thousand forms in my hands. It can run, fly, and explode.

Once I activate the Paper Person of God, a sea of paper butterflies launches a carpet bombing.

I’ll strike in the form of Deidara! Aaaaaah!

[I, Gnar the Mad Lion]

[I, the Demon Jester]

[I, the Embrace of the Serpent]

Our goal is to:

Assassinate the Head Ninja!

Turn the sky before dawn red as blood!
