so, there are 16 generations of their 3 clans, but the leaf village exists for only 4 generations? and they always get gifts from sarutobis?

I want to call bullshit on that, but why bother? Chouji has been dead for me ever since his grand fight with the guy from the sound four, when he sacrificed his life because he trusted in Shikamaru.

still, in this arc, Kishimonto brings people back from the dead for DLC.
