thats true, Shikamaru didnt know anything about the cursed seal level 2 so he made the decision without knowing that - thats the only reason hes starting to lose control of the mission, no one else in the team knew it either though.

Exactly, Kabuto doesn't get the attention he deserves either.

LOL! Well said, as always.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
Neji and Shikamaru deserves to be chuunin not only Shikamaru.

Why Neji? what leadership qualities did he display? it's not all about combat ability.

When they were trapped by the fat sound ninja, he and shikamaru came up with the plan, also he's not a hesitating person, that get freaked out just because they are in disadvantage, a person who don't show panic and don't show eagerness, that's what a chuunin is, exept the leadership quality. I'm qutoing many people now
Calm, cool, colected that's very important.
Aight i need to make a few points.
1. Kidoumaru and the rest of the sound 5 are relatively the same age as the gennins they fight. Why? because Oro would not send older people to show how much power sasuke could have and tempt him, they would send people of relatively the same age to show him what he could attain.
2. We dont know the "rank" of the 4 but we can assume its of the relatively same rank as the gennins, Why? well kimimaro does refer to kabuto as sensei, which puts them about in the same type of timeline as kakashi to the konoha kids. So this whole series of battles could be termed as the best of the sound kids vs the best of the konoha kids, etc.
3. Neji probably deserves to be a chuunin now, but he has changed alot since the exam, hes much cooler, calmer and more collected now. Before he was rash and pissed off at the world, but then he fought naruto and he changed for the better.
4. Just because the sound 4 barely beat those 2 jounins doesnt mean they are way more powerful than the konoha 4. Why? well naruto did kick a chuunins ass while still an academy student, and i bet that naruto and neji and shika alone teamed up could probably handle a jounin or two now if they used full power, hell naruto put a lickin on kabuto and kabuto is elite. granted he didnt beat him and he was helped by tsunade, but none the less he had his moment there and he wasnt even rly using full kyubi mode or anything
5. Neji is alive, or at least he better be! not really contesting anybodies point but i like to throw that in whenever possible, lol.
When you talk about chunnin level, Shino automatically comes to mind. The manga's great, but the anime series gives Naruto more detail. Did you guys see the latest episode (68), when Sasuke went over the wall to chase Gaara? Who was the calm, collected, strategist (with sunglasses) watching the whole thing? The answer is Shino. His calmness reminds me of Kakashi. They can point a M4 Colt to Shino's head and he'll still be standing there, looking real cool. He didn't fall for the genjutsu, he stood proudly and watched cautiously. Whereas Shika pretended to be asleep. Shino went to help his comrades (Sasuke) without being asked. Shika didn't even want to, he thought it was too much of a bother, "if you are a Konoha ninja, then make yourself useful."
And whoever it was that said that it was foolish to run away. It is even more foolish to try to win a fight you just can't win (good thing it's an anime).
If you ask me the 5 gennins were outclassed and outgunned; they should have lost (well maybe not all 5, would have lost).
I see how it is now. Kishimoto discriminates against guys who wears glasses.

i dont think neji should have won, i mean he's 13? and the spider-guy (forgot his name) is what? 18-20something. so he would have had many more years of training and experiance than neji AND he had the cursed seal.
neji is such an asshat for winning

we don't know his age. or..... do we? neji is a genius.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I mean, heck, Neji's only a developed character with an actual story and background, a distinctive style, and a "type" of character. Whereas, Kidomaru is just some no-name, spur of the moment, villain. Neji should have lost!
Well Chap 202 answers the original question very well... I guess this thread is over...
he did become a chuunin after all
Er? you mean Neji? he didn't become a chuunin, though he should. Shikamaru became one the only chuunin at this chuunin exam, and there are two each year, so they have more chances of becomming a chuunin.
Dont you remember Itachi? Even if you get into the final tournament there still could be no one who becomes a chunnin. It would be severely bad for a hidden village to say "Hey, he's not at a chunnin level, but we MUST have two of them become chunnins and risk weakening our clan." Neji like all the other characters were trying to prove their strength by going all out. And from whats been said, thats not what makes a good Chunnin

LOL, can you just imagine what kind of leader the "before fighting with Naruto" Neji would have been.
"Mission briefing":
Neji: "I am a genius and you are all pathethic in your futile attempts to keep up with me. I don't like any of you, as you are all losers who should accept their fate and give at being more than average ninja.
About today's mission, we'll loose to them because they have more gifted ninja then us. Let's not even try and go home."
Hehe, You have read the manga remember the situation with that fat sound ninja, they were trapped and Neji and Shikamaru came up with a exellent idea, Those two are beyond the other genin's knowledge.
u bitches talkin shit bout me? ok anybody who doesnt think im chuunin material just come and try it.
