Why was Naruto a genin jinchuriki sent to battle Kakuzu of the akatsuki who survived a battle against the 1st hokage and who partner killed Asuma. I understand if Naruto knew sage mode at this time but where was Jiraiya and Tsunade? I also feel like Guy could have helped a little aswell discuss...

He promised Tenzo that if he let him fight Kakuzu, he'll secretly Harem one of his clones into a naked Kurenai for him

Tsunade sent Team Kakashi as back up because either (1) they were the only team available or (1) they were experienced at fighting Akatsuki.

Yamato wanted Naruto to come to avenge Hashirama. He needed Naruto to perform that Tornado whirlpool jutsu thing.

Naruto didn't know sage mode yet actually. Besides Naruto does w/e tf he wants and everyone just goes along with it because they believe in him lol.

Tsunade had faith in Naruto and believed that the new jutsu Kakashi and Naruto were developing would be enough to defeat Kakuzu. They had no prior knowledge on Kakuzu's bouts with Hashirama as well which is why the team is shocked:

Because he was seen as a jonin not a genin. Hokages don't hand out S-Rank missions to anyone below jonin that should be common knowledge.

Narutos rank didn't actually matter at the time. It's already been explained multiple times that despite being a Genin Naruto is easily Kage level in terms of power, even when battling Kakuza.

Sure they had no Intel on Kakuza, but it didn't stop Tsunade from deploying Team 7 as back up.

I mean like if he learned sage mode i would understand sending Naruto but he just upgraded his Rasen shuriken thats like Kakashi learning double lightning blade so he decide to fight madara

I honestly think at that point Naruto was a lil over Sakura at that time without the kyubbi

Don't question things you don't want the answer to.

Besides Tsunade said why in the manga so read a little bit.

Test subject. Yamato, kakashi, choji, ino, and sakura were all there if anything gone wrong.
