If you truly look at naruto progression in this series. He is still a genin level shinobi... The only difference is he is a genin level shinobi with an enormous amount of plot shielding and chakra.
after 580 chapters he has finally achieved good chakra control on his own and not through the help of the fox or clones. That is a clear sign that Naruto is the slowest person to progress in the series thus far and he still remains a Genin.
More proof he is genin:
Irrational
Rushes in
Doesn't think
Rely on Plot shielding too much
Thoughts?
