For what it's worth, I agree with chambers and hokagi IV, that it's not simply a matter of "power levels". While a persons power is important, their fighting style can more than make up for the difference if one is weaker. The "Rock, Paper Scissors" metaphore fits perfectly.

And while you might say "Oh that only applies to people on the same level" you can't even say that when you figure that there are people who are like Gaara that are Genin "level" that could easily defeat most Chuunin.
you guys keep bringing naruto and gaara up, but as i mentioned before....

"there seems to be a recurring theme in the series that if you possess the powers of one of the demon creatures, then you can sorta stand a chance against people a rank above you"

but can you think of anyone besides naruto and gaara that has actually defeated higher ranked ninjas by themselves?
was that suppose to be a tough question? ....
