Naruto a gennin?

yeah, the battle broke out because of the exam, but why make it an exam? They could have given it any other reason as to why the battle broke out, and bringing in new characters is as easy as killing off characters, it can be done on a whim. I think the exam came for a reason, and that reason is to promote most, if not all, the rookies. They are not gonna go and make another chuunin exam series, i mean seriously, how retarded and redundant would it be for the creators to make us go through 2 chuunin exams, even if they are completely different. It makes no logical sense in a TV show. In real life, sure, makes sense to make them wait and redo the exam, but not in Anime/TV sense.

Believe it or not to me atleast, the whole exam was shown to build up to where we are now and that's the upcoming war. Think about it from the start the exam wasn't going to be finished since the Gaara/Kunkuro and Temari were sent with the sole purpose of making it to the final exam to disrupt it. I think the only way we're going to see any of the gennins become Chunnins is if after the whole war which I'm guessing could be 50+eps, the show decides to go threw somekind of timewarp and advances a couple yrs.
