Sasuke Joins the Crash Course?

Fugaku was reluctant. After all, being Captain of the Land of Fire Security Division was nothing like being Captain of the Konoha Security Division had been.

Konoha now controlled the entire Land of Fire. Major cities, towns, and villages all had Security Division branches; only their size and authority varied.

In theory, all those personnel answered to him.

Unlike the Anbu, whose members were all elite, the Security Division had taken on more responsibilities and recruited more and more people.

Fugaku now had countless subordinates. Including the patrols made up of ordinary people, the Captain of the Land of Fire Security Division directly or indirectly commanded over fifty thousand!

He had three deputy captains in the Security Division alone. Without them, he could never have handled such a massive workload.

But things were different now!
