[Discussion] Will Naruto still have to take the chunin exam in order to become Hokage?

[Ero sennin jiraiya]

Yeah they'll make some poor genins fresh out the academy 1v1 the 9 tails jinchuuriki...lmao..at this point Naruto is a hokage level shinobi and everyone in the village knows it. The fact that he is technically still a genin means nothing at this point.

i think that u guys need ta go back n read/watch the original series and c dat the third explained that the chunnin exams r used to simulate war. so that genin could get valuable experience and lower the chances that ninjas died needlessly. Since this war has come about then that means that the chunnin exams arent needed to determine rank....

[Loome]

He may take Jounin exam without chuunin.
But he would still rape everyone.

[odieSO6P]

maybe he will be a legendary a savior of the world like the sage of the six path did..

[Blackbelt Nob]

he'll become the hokage, that's the point of him still being genin so that he directly jumps to the hokage seat

[MWQ]

.......no since even though naruto has incredible power,hes still isnt matured,or smart enough to be promoted to the post of hokage.A kage has to make logical and difficult decisions every day for the sake of his village.Im not saying that hes not capable of being hokage,im just saying that it will be some time before hes fully capable to handle the duties that come with being hokage.

Only being strong isnt all whats really necessary for being hokage,you need good judgement, plus other qualities,which naruto doesnt have right now.

[MWQ]

technically if sasuke goes back to the leaf village,he will still be a genin since he was newer promoted to chunin either.So naruto will just be promoted to a jonin from my point of view!

[GsNp]

That Genin will be Konohamaru

Konohamaur is a Chuunin.... Didn't anyone watch the 5th movie? They had a short episode of the chuunin exams before the start of the war. Go watch it ^^

here's the link, it's horrible quality but well worth it.

That was a ova,just a little side story.It has absolutely nothing to do with the main story line,so technically konohamaru is still an genin!

Like MWQ said the OVA is not cannon. Therefore konohamaru is still a worthless genin.

[supino]

technically he ought, but won't that be slightly redundant after all he has been through and all the powerups? not to mention dangerous for everybody/-thing else near him... what on earth is he supposed to do in that exam, avoid raping some bloody rookies?
