Island of 1,000 Condiments

Except, when I did those calculation, I went under NarutoFan's assumption that students graduate the Ninja Academy three times a year, opposed to my suggested one. If I went by my original, then there could only be 450 Shinobi in a 50 year span. Effectively, that's 150 teams. However, that doesn't include all the Shinobi who died in wars over these 50 years. Battle deaths are very common in Naruto. Hell, Hanzo took out at least a dozen Shinobi when he fought the Sannin. The Kyuubi probably destroyed half of Konoha. Itachi & Madara slaughtered a Clan. Then, subtract the amount that go rogue? My original calculations had 450. It was stated that Konoha lost almost half of its Shinobi force in the Konoha Invasion. That immediately puts it at 225, not counting prior loses. Even then, it was stated that Konoha was still comparable to the other nations? O_o
