i think shino got jacked because he didnt even get a chance. If he'd gotten to fight, i'm sure that he would have been promoted as well


the rest really werent good enough.. well, gaara is probably strong enough to be a chuunin, maybe even jounin.. not that he cares enough about anyone to be any sort of leader.

his sister (temari?) also deserved a promotion, but i gather that would have been someone from hidden sand's decision, not one to be made by the hidden leaf elders. actually it seems like all the sand genins were held by for political reasons anyway.


so uh.. yea shino should also be chuunin, but i'm sure he'll be alright without it.


besides, EVERYONE cant be a leader anyway, it doesnt work out that way.
