Thank you patriot, but it really wasn't necessary. Like I said I don't mind the negative rep. But thanks anyways.
What I am trying to discuss here is if the whole ninja ranking system invalid when it comes to Naruto. If I remember correctly it hold some relevance in gauging a countries strength and how many mission are assigned and what not. But seeing that they are at war, that may a be a mote point. But there have been on the field promotions; ie the third Hokage who was promoted by the second hokage and kakashi who was promoted by the fourth.
These to promtions were carried out by the Hokage himself, is it that Naruto hasn't spent enough time with the fifth Hokage and this is just an oversight or was it all a ploy to keep him within the village or for him to always have someone by his side to protect him since it is obvious that the village leaders wanted to control his activity outside the village; unsuccessful as it may have been.
What do you guys think?
