Aoto requested the system to keep an eye on the conversation between Winry and Hiruzen about automail. The discussion went as follows:
"What is Automail?" asked Hiruzen.
"It's a prosthetic connected via nerves, capable of enabling a crippled person to walk or function like a normal individual," Winry explained.
"And what are its uses?"
"It can be utilized for regular purposes and can also be enhanced for combat," Winry replied.
Hiruzen then inquired if they could produce automail for Konoha. Winry acknowledged the possibility but mentioned that it would take time, and if there were many clients, they would have to wait for their turns.
Hiruzen was willing to compromise on the time and requested Winry to help Konoha's people who had lost limbs in prior wars. This gesture would boost their strength to some extent, if not significantly. Aoto smiled as he learned the gist of the conversation.
As promised, the Hokage sent the shop crippled shinobi to Winry for them to be operated on, with the hope of bringing them back into missions. It was a win-win situation, and Hiruzen's vigilance and attention to Aoto allowed him to stay updated on the happenings around him.
A few weeks passed, and Shisui's father successfully passed the chunin exams with flying colors. He showcased the power of his automail during the final selection, earning cheers from the people of Konoha. Only one person had undergone the operation after Shisui's father, and though Hiruzen encouraged other crippled men and women to visit Winry's garage, not many did.
However, the chunin exam selection gave many people hope, and Winry's garage was soon to have numerous customers. Aoto, on the other hand, didn't bother with this and even skipped watching the chunin exams. Due to the lingering tension from the Third Great Ninja War, only their own village was invited to the event, as the borders were still sensitive and would take some years to calm down.
As this was happening in the realm of exams and shinobis, the Victoria Secrets shop had received people who didn't live in the village for the first time. The women who visited the shop belonged to the entourage of the daimyo of Land of Fire.
The wife of daimyo along with her maids and butler had visited the shop of Victoria Secrets. The lingerie of Victoria Secrets had already become famous among the people of Konoha, especially the women and when the cosmetic items came in, it just hit the stratosphere.

Arya was actually being annoyed by the number of people who had been flocking into her shop and had to ask help from Ayame in order to cater the women who visited their shop. Today, was just another normal day for her with loads of customers but once the wife of daimyo walked in, she knew that this was a person with status so she didn't dare to slack off and showed cosmetics, how to use them and lingerie.
Over the course of time Arya had taught herself how to use the beauty cosmetics using foundation, toner, face blush, eyeshadow and such other parts by reading through the different instructions that came with the system products.
Her cosmetics had become so famous that even people from outside the village had come to inquire about them. Aoto found this rather peculiar since he expected more regular items to gain fame rather than female beauty enhancers.
Nonetheless, the daimyo's wife visited the shop and splurged a substantial amount, buying a week's worth of profits in a single spree. While Arya was happy about the sales, she was also a bit frustrated. She had to maintain a constant smile and deal with the lady's numerous questions. Her cheeks even hurt from forcing the smile. If she wasn't an influential figure like the Queen of Westeros, she would have been tempted to use her magic to slap her.
"After the lady shows up again, Ayame, you'll be in charge," Arya declared after the daimyo's wife left.
"Hehehe... Arya, it's amusing to see you irritated like this. It makes you look cute," Ayame responded with a giggle, earning an eye roll from Arya.
Meanwhile, Pinako was having a great time. Her shop was far away, and she only needed to spend a few hours there in the evening. The rest of her day was spent either at the hospital or assisting Winry with surgeries if there were any appointments.
Upon learning that Pinako was a doctor at a young age, Hiruzen asked her to visit the hospital and school occasionally if possible. Pinako gladly accepted, enjoying the occasional love and appreciation from strangers and having nothing better to do anyway.
As for Edward, he sought help from the Cryptology department to propagate the use of solar panels for electricity production in homes. Initially, the department was skeptical about the technology that could turn sunlight directly into electrical energy. However, when Edward presented evidence of its feasibility, they were astonished.
"At first I entertained you since you have the recommendation of Aoto, but I guess I will have to look at you in different eyes from now on. I am Inoichi Yamanaka, head of the department. I will transfer you to the technological department." Inoichi said.
Then he decided to transfer Edward to the technological department, acknowledging his potential. Edward refrained from boasting about being better than Aoto, remembering the incredible computers in this world that were the pinnacle of human technology. He happily moved to the technological department and discussed the use of solar panels with the experts.
The department was thrilled with the idea, but some adjustments were necessary before the panels could be distributed and sold for everyday use. Edward was committed to the project and dedicated time to it while also learning magic.
Thus with those things everything was right on track. In this way few more months had passed by. And the last few months, Konoha had gone under some significant changes. One might not be able to see if one entered Konoha and was just casually looking around but from the inside, the people of Konoha themselves were a little surprised how Konoha was changing fast.
