I want to know when the standard of skill for genin went up. None of Konohamaru's jutsu (aside from the initial basics) are below B-rank. Shadow clone, Ash cloud, Rasengan, Shuriken shadow clone, like wtf? Even if this kid is the son of Sandaime, even Sasuke didn't have such an advanced arsonal in the beginning of the series. Sasuke was the closest but all his were C (the standard's going up). I know Naruto's clones are considered A and B level but really it's only because of the chakra it consumes, which he has plenty to blow. I'm just saying is all...
I know this is a filler, but if you think about it, based on the techniques of the members of his clan we've seen so far (Asuma and Hiruzen) they weren't completly off base for possible abilities he may have, and if Kishi does ever show Konohamaru's skills, I believe they'd be along those lines....
On the subject, Konohamaru did his damn thing! I think Shikamaru was bs when he said Temari would've wrecked him...considering the size of that crater, Konohamaru would've prevailed....however I do believe the creaters of the episode did exagerate Konohamaru's Rasengan....I can't help feel, if Konohamaru had better taijutsu his clones wouldn't have been taken down so easily and would've provided more difficulty. I say the same thing for Naruto, but his clones (rescently) have been proving to be more then just random clones sent to the slaughter while the origional either
a. makes new clones
b. prepares something more badass
Idk
shutup!!
