I belive he a genin mostly becuse he is stupid no offense to him but his intellgence level is extremely low and he didn't try to take his exams
Choji and Kiba are both chuunin and they are far from the brightest tools in the box. Plus he's smart enough to out smart both Gaara and a genius Neji so not being smart I disagree a lot.

Street/battle smarts and book smarts/IQ are 2 different things. Shikamaru has both and he uses them together to create his strategies. Naruto has really good battle smarts but his IQ is far from optimal. He is getting smarter though.

LMao I hate responces like this Naruto is not stupid. Everyone thought Shikamaru was stupid, he is just unmotivated. Naruto has a hard time learning how other people learn you have to explain things differently to him, that is not stupid just different.

Stupid is not taking just a less than or a week for all his jutsus to learn. Mastering everything he's learned to the degree where no one not even Kakashi can copy it. He out smarted Nagato and kakuzu who to Naruto in every aspect are smarter and battle savvy than Naruto, they were raised in war.

He tough konohamaru the resangan and shadow clone jutsu proving he can even teach if he were to get students.

Naruto is smarter and wiser than just about all the chunin his age naming the rookies. Pa even put him in the same league as Minato and Jiraiya I would trust his words more than anyone else.

If you want to name not so bright shinobi than name someone like Kiba, who has shown to be overly confident and not that bright as Tobi side stepped his attack. He is like how Naruto use to run into a fight yelling and screaming.

Fare point but again Kiba and Choji are not very smart themselves how did they become chuunin.

Well...:p out of every one of his friends in his age group who are higher ranks than him they know Naruto is stronger than them so when it comes to ranks they really don't look at that. but you can think of Naruto as a Genin Chunin Jounin-all in 1 because he is the only Gennin in his rank allowed to do dangerous missions, beside in a way Tusnade thinks of him as an ELite Ninja any ways, even tho she does not show it-- and i think she start to realise it when Naruto save her life when pein try to kill her( Naruto instantly took him out 1 blow.;) so yah i really dont think ranks apply to him any more XD

*yawns* (stated before but) its because in the exam he stated that hed become hokage even if he remained a genin forever...thats why...because it fits in with narutos mentallity and has a quirky coolness to it :)

Also because as soon as you bring rank in we are all automatically going to start ranking him in terms of ninja grades...oh hes this tough...so hes tougher than so and so...
and eventually given the absurd levels that some opp have the normal ranks are just useless....i mean how do u relate genin chunin johnin to nagato, or madara...whats even the point of trying to relate it :p

also given how long it has gone with him as genin what is the point in suddenly ranking him up. no1 cares...naruto certainly doesnt whine about it....

That's true. But once you get good enough at a couple things they probably realize during the exams and promote you. Like if you have good taijutsu, ninjutsu, and decent everything else even if one is really low you'll probably get the promotion. That's probably how Kiba and Choji did it.

i would say Kiba and Lee, Lee is strong but not that smart. He is a dumbed down Gai. Their stats in intel prove me right.
Lmao that's true. But same as above, Lee just wowed the judges with his awesome speed and taijutsu displays.

Well it's not like he has had to take any examinations or even to be told that he is formally promoted (if he gets exempt from the exams). I wanna see him get put into the Chuunin exams and rip through all the little Genin lol that would be fun. Have him win the tourney and get promoted to Chuunin. Then I wanna see what the Jounin exams are all about since they haven't said anything about them. Neji was able to pass them as were Temari and Kankuro... Naruto shouldn't have too much trouble unless it requires intelligence besides battle smarts (like calculus or something).
Believe it or not, Jonins are actually promoted by appointment.

Sorry mods for not merging, but I had these thoughts at two different times.

Genin is just a rank. Look at the Genin. Naruto, Sasuke, and Kabuto.

Naruto going through the Chunin exams would be fun just to show him kick some ass. He probably wouldn't even need Sage Mode. It'd be pretty funny though if some Genin tried to attack him and he used Sage Mode to rip out a big ass tree and they'd be like :confused:?

Sasuke going through it would probably get him kicked out because in his current psychological state he can't tell the difference between a handshake and an attempted murder. Not that he is actually a Konoha citizen, but if he was and had his current powers...Konoha would have to sell him.

Naruto will probably jump from Genin to Hokage. I haven't looked at Naruto as a Genin since part I. He's obviously the most powerful ninja in Konoha.

To the guys who say that he isn't smart, check his DB stats. He's as smart as Sasuke, and only half a point below what Kakashi was in part I. Kakashi had a 4 in part I, Naruto is at 3.5 which is above average.

Hokage are technically just the strongest people in the village who are the best suited for it. So Naruto could very well become Hokage in the next 100 chapters without going through Chunin and Jonin ranks. Hokage is a permanate title, even if someone else becomes stronger and better suited for the job.

Naruto was the nail in the ninja rank coffin, i mean
he completely did away with the thoughts of..."all
genin are weak and stupid" everyone in the village knows
that naruto is by far the strongest and theres no need to
dispute it.....none of the shinobi in konoha would be able to
last in a battle with naruto......its just not gonna happen

there is no need to even try and rank him bcuz he just keeps
surpassing all the boundaries and hurdles set out in front of him
but if i were to try and rank him....he would most definitely be
hokage level and if there is a level above hokage then get ready
to put him in that bracket bcuz he will be there soon(if he isnt there alrdy)
