even if it is, it doesn't matter. They could say no one passed because they didn't see them fight enough. I'd guess a hokage is more important than new chuunins, and after the hokage is instated, the 1st order of business is Itachi. Chuunins will be announced prolly ep. 90-100.

But even Sakura may become a chuunin. She did go on an A rated mission. Whats gonna happen is the new womankage is gonna be all womans rights and shit, and say: "yo! you resisted the sleep jutsu when a stadium of ninjas couldn't. you tied in your qualifications, you wanna sleep with sasuke-kun. Go Chuunin!
