I don't know if these are just plot holes, but I don't understand them at all

1. If Kakashi graduated the academy at age of 5 and was granted Chuunin at age of 6, then how come he was on the same team as Obito when Obito didn't graduate the academy until age of 9 and a chuunin until age of 11? I thought once you graduate, u are assigned a team.... Obito didn't graduate until 4 years later....

Also, 2. how old was Obito when he summoned the Nine Tails to attack the Leaf Village and Minato? I heard he was like 14 at the time? 3. How did he even get a contract or whatever to summon the Ninetails? And 4. how old was he when he controlled Yagura? This is giving me a mind f*ck lol


Another thing, how did Kakashi fight Guy in the Chuunin exams and how did Guy fight Obito in the chuunin exams if Kakashi was chuunin at age of 6 and Guy didn't graduate the academy until age of 7 and become a chuunin until age 11?


Honestly, this is ridiculous lol. If someone really smart out there can help me, I'd really appreciate it and you will be rewarded

They are plot holes that shall never be explained, so ignore them and just continue reading, your life will be much better.

I'm in the same boat. Didn't Naruto fail the academy 3 times? How is he the same age as Sasuke? I think Kishi just leaves these things out.

obito failed at passing the academy various times.
He controlled the 9 tailes. It was 1 year after the war stopped. So he was about 16

Just plot holes. Kakashi should be a few years younger than the other Leaf Jonin

1.Well, he was on the same team with obito while he was 5 years old, then Kakashi graduated while Obito just... didnt graduate till 9. Ofcourse Kakashi either left the team or just stayed in it even tho he was a chunin, just like Shikamaru.
2.Well I guess Kishimoto has to tell us and it sure doesnt look like 14.
3.Madara which was alive at the time when he saved Obito he most likely gave him the scroll and told him to do it sometime...
4.I dont know dont even know who Yagura is.
5.Kakashi and Guy fight. It doesnt matter if Kakashi is a chunin i guess its a test. Later he became a chunin.

i'm not particularly smart, but i can try Lol

1) They became a team before Kakashi was promoted to Chunin. Its on narutopedia.

2) Yeah, apparently he was 14.

3) Only Kishi knows. I think its related with the Sharingan though. Similar to how the Rinnegan can summon the Juubi's vessel without having previously formed a blood contract.

4) For this one i have no answer.

PS:

5) Kakashi (15 September) is several months younger than Gai (1 January). Its by no means a plot hole, this means that the exam happened sometime between their birthdays, when Gai was already 7 years old (graduated from the academy), but Kakashi was technically still 6 (when he got promoted to Chunin).

This explains it, though Kishi decided to change the backstory of Kakashi a little
