[Berner]

Wasn't he a Genin?

 

[xnejix2]

main character no jutsu

 

[KingHashirama]

Hashirama and Tobirama didn't even have a rank ;]

 

[Angelic.]

he skipped the titles

 

[Melanin]

Kakashi: he's the most powerful dude in the world.
Everybody Else: Here Here'

Hashirama and Tobirama didn't even have a rank ;]

they made the village tho

 

[Melanin]

But the real question is, was he qualified to become Hokage when he did.

 

[Ripple Hole]

How did a missing nin, S rank criminal become a major authority with
influence over the other kages including the hokage?

Also Hashi and Tobirama had no rank.
There are no set rules based on rank to becoming hokage, what matters is
if you have the support and is believed to be capable.

Lord Sasuke is so badass that they had to create a new rank just for him. He's the only unranked shinobi in the series.

Refer to previous posts, that aside he has been chunnin and other various things.

Yeah, in the past. He became so powerful that they couldn't even fit him inside a rank.

 

[TenseiganFTW]

Even Kishimoto explained it...
And rank doesn't seem to be everything in NV!
Ik it may sound weird to you LOL

Naruto took what he wanted since the beginning of the series.

 

[Ripple Hole]

I agree with that.

 

[Opiuchus05]

Naruto said he'll be hokage even if hes an eternal genin

 

[Adam Driver]

And considering Naruto is a Demi God I don't think there's a need to have to go through the ranks traditionally

 

[ultraChalk]

they made the village tho

Naruto saved the world. His feat is bigger.

Translated bit:
Q: Speaking of Naruto, his dream of being Hokage came true, but when did he take the exam to become a jounin?
Kishimoto: Naruto didn’t become a jounin. He became Hokage as a genin. Sasuke is not a jounin or chuunin either, but rather, since he left the village, he is a nukenin. That’s enough for them (laughs). But I thought that having him suddenly go from genin to Hokage would be amusing and Naruto-like.
