About Naruto Failing the Genin Exam

[Strider]

I don't understand how that makes much sense. The multiple graduation exams per year theory.

I mean, they clearly state that Neji was last year's no. 1 rookie. He wasn't one of them. He was it.

Sasuke was clearly in the Academy since a young age. Why not take it then? He learned an advanced skill, in the Goukyaku, very young. That right there would have qualified as a passing skill. Fuck a Bunshin / Henge.

just because there's multiple graduation exams per year doesn't mean that there's multiple graduations per year

But it would be logical to assume there were, as evidenced by Strider's Sasuke example. He could have graduated WAY before anyone else and there was no reason for him to stay and be dragged down by the rest of the class (in his opinion, at least).

You're shitting me.

You're trying to sell the idea that there are multiple graduation exams every year, yet there have only been graduations all at one time because only at those given times was everyone able to finally accomplish the difficult tasks of successfully performing the Henge no Jutsu?

Don't quite your day job, pal.

The final exam has always been Henge no Jutsu. Iruka states this, as well as Naruto, considering that was his reasoning for his past failures. If Naruto wasn't in the Academy before everyone else, then everyone else would have had the same opportunity as Naruto to performing the Transformation Skill. And, you really think someone like Sasuke couldn't do that before he even entered the Academy?

Not buying it.

Or it's a plot hole. That's what I'm buying [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

.. God damn plot holes.
