“From today on, you are Akatsuki’s Sorchen.”

Izumo Kirie has been feeling terribly down lately. As a young girl in the bloom of youth who was tricked into joining a mysterious (scam) organization (gang), she’s deeply worried about her future.
But for the sake of her most respected senior, Sasori, she’s decided to become a proper rogue ninja and fight for love and peace in the world... As if!

Deidara: It’s great that the new recruit is a beauty, hmm.
Hidan: Young lady, want to join our Jashin Cult?
Kakuzu: Less talking, more money-making.
Kisame: Anyway, let’s give it our best.
Itachi (silently eating dango.)
Konan: Be sure to follow the organization’s rules.
Pain: Let the world know pain.
Kirie: ...I refuse...
Sasori: Refuse? Want to become one of my collectibles, brat?
Kirie: QAQ!! No, I’d be delighted to serve you, senpai!

And so the girl set off down a road of no return
★A must-read before you start★
① The heroine is an original character, a medical ninja who defected from Sunagakure.
② The pairing is Sasori (he’s just so, so adorable! I couldn’t resist writing a story about him).
③ This is probably a serious story wearing the guise of a romance. If you’re looking for a lighthearted, snarky story, feel free to click away.
④ Feel free to point out any plot holes. This foolish author is a poor writer, so who knows if the characters will go out of character? Anyway, I’ll do my best.
⑤ The title comes from a Japanese nursery rhyme of the same name (?). The heroine’s name comes from the villainess, Kirie Ujo, in the first chapter of The Garden of Sinners, “Overlooking View.” It has no special meaning; I just really like the character, so this is kind of a tribute and a remembrance of her? (She dies after falling from a building.)
