Seiho Masaga was already thirty-five years old this year. He had been promoted to jonin four years ago.
Less than a month after becoming a jonin, he had been sent by Fourth Kazekage Rasa to the eastern coast to establish a defensive fortress.
After the fortress was completed, he naturally remained stationed there and became its commanding officer.
At first, to be honest, Seiho Masaga had desperately not wanted to stay here. All he wanted was to be transferred back as soon as possible!
But he was only a civilian ninja. Becoming a jonin had already been far from easy.
Without any useful connections, he had no say whatsoever in where he was assigned.
Moreover, he had been transferred here to build the fortress just one month after his promotion, so he had not even had time to build good relationships with the other jonin.
Thus, as though he had been forgotten, he remained stationed here all this time.
He only had one or two chances each year to return and report on his duties. Once he finished reporting, he had to come back here and resume his post.
At first, Seiho Masaga had deeply hated this sort of life.
But gradually, after staying here for two years, he actually began to like the place!
After all, Sunagakure was different. There, aside from wind, there was only sand!
Here, however, the fortress had been built by the coast. Besides wind and sand, there was also the salty seawater.
In his spare time, Seiho Masaga could even go into the sea and catch some seafood.
He had originally been a complete non-swimmer, but after being stationed here for four years, he could now swim all the way around the nearby islands!
This sort of life gradually made Seiho Masaga fall in
