Naruto: Puppet Master Undercover in Konoha

Shindai never wanted to be a hero. Born in Sunagakure with a rare Magnet Release and a knack for puppetry, his only goal was to keep a low profile, survive the chaos, and live a peaceful life far from the frontlines. Let the protagonists chase glory—he’d rather nap in the shade.



But fate doesn’t care about plans.



One day, Shindai is ordered—without room for refusal—to infiltrate Konohagakure as a spy. Before he can even start his double life, his identity is immediately seen through by none other than Minato Namikaze. Worse? The only superior back in Suna who knew about his mission… is dead.



Now stranded, exposed, and without allies, Shindai finds himself stuck in Konoha with no backup, no cover story, and no idea what to do next. All he’s got are his Magnet Release bloodline, his puppet tricks, and a whole lot of sarcasm.



Can a sarcastic slacker with zero motivation accidentally stumble into greatness? Or will his cover—and his life—crack under pressure?



A chaotic, light-hearted ninja misadventure begins!
