    About Naruto Failing the Genin Exam

    Wow.

    That was a huge summary. Have you been using those Naruto steroids again?

    I have nothing to add to your post Strider but like Xan said perhaps its just a plot hole.

    About Naruto Failing the Genin Exam

    I'm also going with plot hole to explain this one... it just doesnt make sense otherwise...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I still think this is the best explanation.

    How could kishimoto create a plothole within just the first 20 eps of the series?

    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).

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    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.
