The Gap Between Genin And Jounin

[The Lord of Morning]

correct me if i am wrong but doesnt that bug guy shino? call himself a chunin when he faces kankuro?

i think there are plenty of older ninja's who are still genin. chunin indicates you are inteligent to lead a team, who knows what a juunin indicates, although i wonder what test they have to pass to become jounin.

ignoring most of the rambling in this post. i think that all the kids are still genin by definition, true they may be tough and strong and able to beat various people of higher level but a lot of that also has to do with them being underestimated. orochi could have killed the entire team if he wanted, not just beat them up and it doesnt really say anything. Strength is not everything, it just indicates potential and also a person's will.

anyone wonder if naruto will skip chuunin and jounin and even ANBU, going straight to hokage when the time comes?

Nah, I think Naruto will work his way up in rank,

from what i have understood, ANBU is just an elite team of jounins and is not a rank of any sort. It would be like a spec-ops team or something. Put the better of the jounins and put them on a team to do some special missions.

I have read some posts, skimmed some but i would like to point out (again if it is so) that it was stated that you can lose your fight in the final test, but still be promoted to chuunin, so obviously it is not based on pure power or how quickly you can kill anything and stuff like that. Also, if i remember correctly, it was said that the chuunin rank is also based largly on the leadership ability of the individual.

this discussion really is pointless.....and im assuming that the main reason why some people are arguing about the genins possibly being as strong as jounins is because of some of the stuff they've seen in the current saga in the manga.......however they are missing a few key details about how the current manga saga proves that jounins ARE much stronger than genins....i cant really explain why though, but if you want to my logic of it, then PM me instead

yeah i agree this is a waste of time
