The only ranks in naruto that means anything are Hokage, Sannin (Isn't really a rank but in all of the villages they are known for it, and they are hokage level), and missin Nin. Sasuke and Naruto are main characters so of course they are going to get a power boost same for Ichigo.Naruto is the main character he is supposed to be insanely strong... same with other anime I mean you have Ichigo he is stronger than most captains yet he is a Substitute Shinigami because he is supposed to be underestimated. You say rank isn't everything than why is everyone but Naruto's and Sasuke's power match to their rank? O_O rank means a lot unless you are supposed to be underestimated...

They are off by a half a point so it's easy to say that Kakashi is as strong as Orochimaru....
Exactly! That is why I always thought it was fan made.People shouldnt look to that databook at all -.-
Or do you think Asuma is that strong like Kisame? NO
lol you don't see the logic. You basically saying Kakashi can beat Naruto by using databook. And in manga Naruto exceeded kakashi, jiriaya, and Yondamine. And datebook isn't facts its stats that come out of thin air.O_O You say you don't like the Kakashi fans I'm starting to think you are worse... I mean I say my opinion and you tell me I'm wrong I pull up something and you say "Don't bring that up it's fake" I don't get the point in arguing with you... you don't like facts... you don't like ranks.. you just want to take your opinion and run with it...? as soon as I stop posting this thread will most likely die cause you have no one to respond too....
