I need help again for my fanfic. I can't seem to remember how they got the rank of jounin.

For chuunin, it was the exams. Does it say anywhere that there's an exam or do they get appointed like the Hokage gets appointed?

It was never said, still the answer is rather obvious. A Chuunin becomes a Jounin when their higher ups thinks that they are strong, experienced and smart enough to lead a team.

It was never said, but judging as its hard to become Chunnin, it will be a lot harder to become Jounin

This is highly possible as Kakashi made jounin, when senior shinobis thought that he is worthy of leading a team.U_U

Never said: but I think it's like a tournament thing of sorts. Let's say there's 80 people who wanna become jounin. So there will be 10 tournaments with 8 people in each 1. Whoever wins each tournament wins the rank.

Great! I should watch the movie.

You get appointed when deemed worthy.

Thanks. Appointing the title is really fitting, I think

Makes sense since jounin is a higher rank. I get the criteria part, I'm just curious if there's an official process. Thanks:)

In the beginning of the movie "Road to Ninja" you can see all of them writing requests to become Jounin and Tsunade had to deem them either ready or not ready to take on the rank (with parental permission, as Sakura's parents disagreed lol). In the end they were all rejected from furthering to Jounin as Tsunade did not deem them ready lol. Someone correct me if it was Chuunin they were signing up for! Either way I'm thinking that's the way it goes, and then if they are deemed worthy to further their rank, then they take the exams for said rank as well. Not sure but I hope this helped dear. :)

*Wait I remember it was Jounin and the families would write a recommendation letter for them. Naruto was sad because he didn't have anyone to write his recommendation letter, as most had their parents to do it for them. :)

Makes me think about the power scaling lately. How far have they come

Oh yeah! Wasn't Kakashi showing a paper or certificate of some sort when he got promoted to jounin?!?! Was there? What could it have said?!

Interesting material... I'll think about using this

The other Jounins beat you in, lol just kidding or am i?

There is also this
It is as of yet unknown what one has to undergo to become one. It is mentioned that jōnin are appointed,[2] however there was mention of a Jōnin Exam in the anime's Kurama Clan Arc.[3] When a ninja becomes a jōnin, they may be assigned a three-man genin team to supervise. One part of their duties is to help instruct and train these genin to become competent ninja. In Konohagakure, it is up to the jōnin to decide whether a candidate Hokage would be given the position permanently. They also have a special rank known as Jōnin Commander. Shinobi who have jōnin-level skills only in a specialised area are classified as Tokubetsu Jōnin.

Two ways Hokage can promote you or you test for it. Its that unlike the chuning you do not need to fight against other genin from other villages it a village test.
