Are Puppeteers Weak? My Puppet Corps Is the Entire Akatsuki

[Awakening for all + class change + puppeteer + power fantasy + System + comedy + Naruto + SSS-rank talent]

“A puppeteer can only control lifeless things? No. What I control is the souls of all living beings.”

In the age of universal awakening, Lin Ye awakens the combat class considered the most useless of all: [Puppeteer], and becomes the laughingstock of the entire school.

“A puppet-show performer belongs on a battlefield? He'd be better off hauling bricks at a construction site!”

Before the laughter can even die down, a blood-red index appears in his palm

[Ding! First draw: SSS-rank puppet, Sasori of the Red Sand!]

At the testing ground, a hundred puppets crush the magic formation. The young man grins and pulls out a scroll of the Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets. “You know nothing about power.”

[Emotion Harvesting System activated!]

Mockery? Fear? Jealousy? Shock?

All fuel for me!

Unlock Grandpa Sasori's consciousness! Unlock Deidara's art! Unlock Itachi's Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu!

When otherworldly beasts are reduced to spare parts in a flood of a hundred puppets, when the scions of powerful clans mentally collapse in Tsukuyomi's illusion, and when so-called gods become marionettes under the Sharingan...

Only then does the world realize:

The strings at his fingertips no longer control mere puppets. They are a vast web spanning all worlds

A web that covers the heavens!

“Solo a dungeon? No, I am an army all by myself!”

“Gods? They're just... fancier puppets.”

“This is what true, eternal string-pulling looks like!”

When puppets develop feelings, and puppets return the favor to the gods, who controls fate, and who is truly the

player moving the pieces?
