Chapter 246

Shouldnt they all be chunnins right now? Maybe those who were sent after Sasuke got promoted after the mission.

finally naruto gets good enough to post about again!
as for the chuunin thing, you have to take the exam to get promoted (with naruto out of town it means hes probably still a genin while everyone else might have had a shot at the exam)
also i dont think its a bad thing if naruto is still a genin, i mean Kabuto is a genin and look how strong he is.
besides, naruto isnt really a leader per say - regardless of how strong you are you need to be able to set up a plan from the very beginning (i know people might say that naruto has analytical skills from how he decided to take the bells of Kakashi, but that was far into the battle)

by the way, for some reason i cant upload my avatar? anyone know what the problem is there (yeah its 60x60 and lower then 100kb)
