Chuunins?!

[gokudagreat]

Naruto might be lacking in strategy or maturity, but he definitely is not lacking in leadership and i think thats a big part of becoming a chuunin, i mean if naruto has leadership and power i think it would be best if he was a chuunin from here on out and learned to be more mature as a chuunin, he wouldnt develop staying as a genin

anyways, i know chuunins have to be all serious and mature, but its not like they are on missions that are dangerous all the freakin time, look at Iruka, hes a school teacher most of the time

[Assertn]

maybe so, but it would be kinda lame if after all that he still has to go through the chuunin exam again

[DarkBahamut]

well in anycase they gonna have to wait for Jiraiya and Naruto to find tsunade before they can announce anything.

[Xollence]

I think they'll tell the results once they get a hokage or when they form the group of the strongest villagers.

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!

Sakura can't be a chuunin because she failed the preliminary test (her fight with ino) and is therefore not eligable for consideration.....also she sucks.

actually, she tied:

you tied in your qualifications

(its sad when you hafta quote your own posts... and remember how naruto became a genin? He royally fuxored the test, but in practicallity he was stronger than genin, by beating a chuunin.

However, if we continue to hold true to the 'everyone is considered' theory, she would be considered. I do not recall if it extended all the way back into the preliminaries, though

It doesn't. The reason they have the actual tournament is because they hafta have alot of judges to watch them, and diplomats from other countries. So by all rules sakura isn't considered. At all. But she will prolly be chuunin-ififed.


BTW- Does anyone remember the judge saying "Sasuke, your as strong as a chuunin, kill gaaara"

NARUTO LEADERSHIP? thats crazy.
knowing him when they start a mission he'd probably say "LETS GO!!" and then jump into OBVIOUS enemy traps. OR HIT A TREE. shikamaru is way better in my opinion.

[njdevs95]

Doesn't matter if they tied she still failed because they had to win in the preliminaries and tying is not a win.

I think that under normal circumstances the only way to become a chunin would be to go through the chunin exam. However, the exam was a total mess and now the Leaf village is in crisis. I think they will do a batch of field promotions, like in the military. The new Hokage or the group that is temporarily running things will just say, "OK, right now what we need is more high-level ninjas. You, you, and you: you are all now officially chunins." In that case Sakura would be a good choice.

I do agree that she failed her test though. In that case a tie in a fight meant a failure. If a tie was a pass she would have been allowed to go on.

in that case, yeah i agree that the new hokage would do that. but i doubt he/she will choose sakura. although she has been in A ranked missions, but she didn't do much in them...

Naruto may seem like in idiot, but when it comes down to it he acts well under pressure and is an awesome strategist, i think maybe he can mature a little bit, but after his trip with Jiraiya i think he will be ready to become a chunnin.

[Gods_Son]

Naruto is an idiot, and he's still too immature to be a leader or a Chunnin. He's getting way too much credit for his strategies. Shikamaru is the strategist, Naruto is clever in some ways, but is also not stealthy at all, and does dumb things during fights as well.

v it was more brute force and confidence than some kind of brilliant strategy v

[chambers]

i dunno, his fight with neji, could almost convince you otherwise!

I suppose you should be wrong here, although you are not. Since the tourney was a one-time chance (atleast in the series i figure) they will not repeat this and Naruto will make a Chuunin ..or he gets horribly massacred by Itachi [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Although at all other times immature and reckless .. he is always making the right decisions at the right time. There is no way he cannot make it to chuunin.

He was stealthy enough to catch a huyga off guard. Naruto is stealthy. Remember the all seeing byakugan they have?

So? We're talking about leadership. Being a chunnin is all about being a good leader. Naruto is stealthy? remember the Haku fight on the bridge, he appeared with a flashy entrance. Besides, leadership has nothing to do with how much power you have. Just like the chunnin said, so what if you complete the mission, but your whole team is wiped out. something like that...

he lacks leadership, it's obvious. but he doesn't lack MOTIVATION. he motivates others to do well and other shit. he has to be able to strategize like shikamaru can in order to become a leader. motivation alone is not enough. and please do not use the fact that he beat neji with a certain 'strategy' to support your counter argument. neji's ego clouds his mind more than anything (the only true reason why neji lost besides naruto having kyubi) and you have to take consideration of the possibility of smarter ninjas than neji being around.

[logic]

Here we go again.. thinking someone cannot be a certain rank because this other person is that rank and he is absolute god.

Look at the criteria needed, not what other people are, cuz if that was the case, itachi was a chuunin at 8 and an anbu CAPTAIN at 13. And he is still a chuunin, jeez.. hes stronger then everyone.. does that mean he can't be a jounin!!?!? omg!?!

Get a grip people, there are other atmospherical conditions preventing or encouraging promotion/demotion of ranks.

Naruto has flashy entrances, so did Kakashi and Sauske.

Naruto is a strategist when it counts, He has effectively won all, thats right, all of his battles.

Zabuza, when kakashi, a jounin by the way in case you forgot, was captured.

But due to NARUTO's strategy, not sakuras or sasukes, but narutos, they were able to win, because naruto found it more logical to free kakashi then take on zabuza.

Again, the haku fight, he won.

The preliminaries, he won.

The main battles, he won.

Gaara, he won.. noticed a pattern?

'But he was reckless and could of died'

He's alive.

Take itachi, who most people swear is there daddy here, even said himself 'everyone has a weakness, and you cannot underestimate it'

If you expect a chuunin, jounin, sennin, hokage, god himself, to only do missions, and battles, where there is absolutely no threat whatsoever to themselves, then you'll be waiting for a long time.

There is a risk in everything, this is called drama and action, and it is what enables this show to be a success.

Without risk, it would not be enertaining.

So please, quit denouncing naruto because he has some balls and makes some risky manuevers.

[Gods_Son]

Risky manuevers, like running into the ice mirrors with Sasuke? That was just dumb. Naruto is an excellent fighter because of his Kyubi chakra and ability to make some good plans, but he is a horrible when it comes to being a leader. Naruto is obssesed with being acknowledged, and showing off in front of other people, that would not help in a team situation at all.

[jing]

we have to think leadership and making right decisions, not tactics. Naruto completes the mission, but the team is wiped out...
