this has probably been asked before, but i couldn't find where, anyways if naruto failed the academy exams 3 times, wouldn't that mean that he's 3 years older than everyone else?

I always figured he just volunteered to take the exam early and failed it a lot.
Naruto is 12. He probably just entered the academy 3 years earlier.
or.......the exam doesnt just take place once a year
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
I am going to have to go with Y The Alien's theory.
I think Assertn and Y both have it right...he probably took it early and you probably can take it more than once a year like the Chuunin Exam is twice a year.
In the anime it's someone said that there is 2 Chunnin Exams in one year.
At my high school, we started taking our graduation tests at the junior level. This was to ensure that everyone could have several tries to pass the exam. I assumed that ninja high would work the same way.
I doubt they get several tries for the exam, because then Sasuke would have passed the first time.
It's probably because he entered the academy 3 years earlier than everyone else. He's parentless anyways, start early.
Speciely since everybody hated him its not like he could play with other kids so why not go to the academy earlier.
This is possible, but why do you think Sasuke would have chosen to take it early? He doesn't seem very show-offy or outgoing early on.Originally posted by: jing

yeah.. because even when he was assigned to team 7, he said, " They willl just slow me down, and stop me from my goal."
not to mention Itachi was anbu at his age, so he woulda tried to take it early
He prob took it early. Didn't Itachi graduate super early cause he was amzingly bad ass? If my memory serves he did, which means it could be possible to test earlier than your "last" year at the academy at age 12
Something tells me that they probably bend the rules for stand out cases like Itachi.

i agree, -the most simple explanation
nopre, they all gradute at the same time, but there are several exams each year...
in episode\chapter 1 they said that becuase of naruto, everyone has to retake the exam, even those who already passed...
the 'who passed first' part is saved for times of deciding on the teams.
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

You are way off. They had to retake the TEST they took that day as review for the EXAM. So you are saying everyone in Itachi's class graduated when they were 6?Originally posted by: Death BOO Z
