What a way to commemorate a hero! To be clear, it's not really a rank, it seems more of a role designation to me. It requires certain skills -leadership skills and risk assessments- and when it comes to that, there's simply no way Naruto - a guy who charges in first and makes it up as he goes along- fits the Chunin bill.

So again it's not really a military rank. The only reason I would ever really want to see a jonin Naruto at some pre-Hokage appointment point is precisely to see that. Could you imagine a Team Naruto, with him being in charge of a genin team? It's almost a scary thought, as far as execution goes. It's a very interesting concept, which I'm afraid Pierrot would squander spectacularly.
