kiba, chouji, ino, hinata, shino, lee, neji, and tenten wont have "being trained by a sannin" as an excuse to miss their chuunin exams, at least....
Most likely they've already taken the exams during the 2 year + jump. I wonder whether the jounins which were teaching them are still their mentors. But I can't really see Gai teaching Neji anymore, as Neji needs to expand on his skills which are of course from the Hyuga clan.

Anyone remember Hanabi? I wanna see her soon as I believe she will one day take on Neji!
