From my findings, its kinda hard to believe that some leaf ninja are actually ninja. Like com'on, how the heck did weak ass ninjas like ebisu and iruka even pass the goddamn chounin exam in their time. Also there are two guys who almost got killed by that ninja ostrich, and they were chounin, so how on earth did they pass their exams? And if you noticed all of naruto's peer (currently), they would easily hand the asses of their masters to them (except maito guy)... So someone explain....
