When Kaguya fell and the Fourth Great Shinobi World War ended, the ninja world was changed forever.

Things got progressive as everyone worked hand-in-hand to usher in this new era of peace, with the Boruto series picking up as Naruto became Konoha's Hokage.

There were so many obstacles in that aforementioned battle, with warped scientists like Orochimaru and Kabuto getting involved, as well as the Akatsuki being manipulated as terrorists, that it's easy to seelasting consequences. Earlier in Boruto, the White Zetsu returned, which led to Boruto and Konohamaru trying to kill the entity again, confirming the war hasripple effects. Thanks to Victor, we just found out this allowed him to create his God Tree.

Victor started his medical company to create limbs and try to find immortality as he was a medical chief that saw numerous soldiers become injured or die in the field. He was also bitter that smaller villages would not get the same benefits of the alliance, which is why he's using the independent Land of Valleys to improve things. It's all part of Kara's experiments and lab work.

He has a point, too, in that people are left to suffer in the Narutoworld --throwing nods to real-world issues wherein everything from weapons to treasures are found on the battlefields by the people who live in wartornareas. Victor confirms he scoured the landscape and got splinters of the God Tree that Kaguya was using for her Infinite Tsukuyomi, which would have trapped people in a dream, sucked their chakra dry and given her the fruit of the gods to eat.This allowed him to clone the tree, which is now attacking Konohamaru and Mugino, while getting ready to suck his staff of their chakra so he and Deepa caneat the fruit.
