He didn&#39;t get the chuunin title because he had no match. First Kankuro gave up the first round and there was no second round because of the war outbreak. Shino&#39;s fight with Kankuro in the forest wasn&#39;t an official match as no one was even watching. I do think he would&#39;ve gotten promoted had either Kankuro not given up or the main matches had a chance to fully run its course though.
