Something wrong about Kishimotos databook or manga

In the databook, Kishimoto says that Gai graduated from the academy at the age of 7(became chunin at 11):
You must be registered for see images

He also says that Kakashi became chunin at the age of 6:
You must be registered for see images


And notice that if the databook is really correct, they have the same age(Gai is roughly 8months older though). So how is it possible that Kakashi was competing with Gai in the chunin exam at the age of 6 if Gai was still at the academy at that moment(so he could not have participate at the chunin exam)?:shrug:

kakahi graduated at the academy at the age of 6. not the chunin exam. maybe he waited years till he go for the chunin


edited sorry i missed the data he really become chunin at 6 dafaQ?

I've a better way to explain it.

Gai's birthday is in January. Since we don't know what year or month this takes in, it's possible that this happens in March.

Gai became 7 in January. In February, he graduated. In March, he fought in the exams.

However, since Kakashi hasn't gotten to his birthday, which is in September yet, he's still six.

Kakashi beat Gai and became Chunin. Gai didn't and became Chunin later, at 11. There's no plot hole.
Hm, you're maybe right but what about Genma, Hayate and Ibiki then? Genma has the same age, and Hayate is even younger
kakahi graduated at the academy at the age of 6. not the chunin exam. maybe he waited years till he go for the chunin
Look at Kakashis databook i posted. No, he graduated at 5 and became chunin a year after

Look closely at Kakashi's page in data booklet. He graduated from academy at the age of 5 and became a chunin a year later.

One thing we know for sure - Kakashi became a chunin at the age of 6, that much is said not only in data booklets, but also in manga (when Iruka said Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura are still too young and inexperienced to participate in chunin exam, Kakashi said that he was 6 years younger than Naruto when he became a chunin).

So I think this information should be the most "canon" - Kakashi became chunin at the age of 6.

I think Kakashi is just 4 years younger than Guy, Obito, Rin, etc. I know data booklet disagrees, but otherwise there is no explanation of it.

That would make Kakashi 9 during Kakashi Gaiden. Also, that'd mean a 10 year old Obito lost his chick to a 6 year old during the . Not even he was that much of a loser.

No they are not. Some of them are even younger. Kishi just disregarded everything he ever said in the latest chapter. It's almost as if it's a hoax.

there older than them and the last chapter is true get over it already

I believe this Obito that we see now, that was under the alias of "Tobi" and "Madara" is from another timeline. These so-called "Plot holes" were done on purpose, to prove that his timeline is different from the one we know.

My 2 cents.

This exactly what I have been thinking

oh ic and when we saw the image from the last chapter he is competing for a chunnin dafaq?

so we cant use logic in this manga since the writter dont use logic.

we cant use evidence from manga to prove our point. im beginning to question kishimotos intelligence :rofl:

nothing wrong in that
gai and kakashi participated in chunin exam when kakashi defeated gai in final and became chunin at age 6, but gai didn't may be after 4 years when gai was at 11 he became chunin
it's like naruto is still genin and shikamaru was the only chunin even if he lost in the chunin exam, it's as simple as that. participating doesn't mean u become chunin

I'd rather think Kakashi was 13 during Kakashi Gaiden and Obito was older... 16, 17. I know he didn't look like it, but well... nothing really can be proved at this point. :shrug:

And Obito losing chick to a 6-year old is the smallest problem, kids always look and behave maturely in manga. U_U
After all, the fact alone that Kakashi became chunin at the age of 6 seems to be out of place. You know, kids at the age of 6 barely can read, you'd think they wouldn't be able to learn ninjutsu either. U_U
I'm guessing Kakashi was just much more mature at the age of 6 than he should.

I'm saying that Gai was still in the academy when Kakashi was 6(he graduated at 7), so it wasn't possible for him to participate at the chunin exam at that moment

You're 100% right.
I think we need clarification on that from Kishi. Maybe it will be explained in 600...

Oh, i'm not refuting the fact that Kakashi became a chunnin at 6 years old. I'm simply saying Obito was no older than 14 when he died, and that Kakashi was older than 9 in Kakashi Gaiden.

Kakashi becoming chunin at the age of 6 is ridiculous. Kishi should have planned better.
