Early the next morning, Sarutobi Toru returned to Konoha and wandered around the village while pondering the Parallel World.
Usually always in a rush, Sarutobi Toru decided to take a proper, careful look at this brand-new Konoha, which had already diverged from the Original Work.
Compared to the Original Work, Konoha had evolved from an ordinary town into a second-tier city. If Nagato came over to carry rice again, his Shinra Tensei probably would not be able to flatten all of Konoha anymore. At most, he could flatten about a quarter of it.
Originally, Konoha had lost nearly ten thousand ninja in the Second Shinobi War, reducing its number of ninja to just over twenty thousand.
Now, after three or four years, even though the pace of replenishing fresh blood had slowed due to Education Reform, Konoha Village's ninja population had returned to around thirty thousand.
Although Konoha Village had grown considerably larger, its technological progress had not been particularly great. It still looked somewhat old-fashioned.
Perhaps I should bring out some of the technology from my phone too. Konoha already has its own companies now, so we could start another company focused on high-tech research and development.
Konoha's first company had been founded at Sarutobi Toru's initiative, and it sold all kinds of medicines he had invented.
Height-increasing, whitening, breast-enhancing, anti-aging, anti-hair-loss—these seemingly insignificant yet immensely profitable medicines had been sold throughout the entire Shinobi World.
Well, the latest BuBuGao Heightening Medicine even advertised itself with the slogan: "Even the Tsuchikage says it works!"
Two-Scales Ōnoki roared, "Secondary Development! That was Secondary Development!"
Maybe Konoha Village could eventually evolve to the level seen in Boruto!
There was nothing wrong with technological progress reaching that level, but it would be hilarious if ninja combat power evolved to the Boruto level
