apparently Udon also is like Naruto, being bad at ninjutsu usn academy and failing multiple times.... they just copy pasted naruto's story on him.

somehow Naruto forgot the first chunin exam he took and says he never took Chunin Exams. he says that since he never took the exams he is kind of genin. damn. so the Kakashi allowing him promotion is non canon now.

Dude, naruto wasn't the only one who ever failed in the graduation exams and every kid who fails at basic graduation exams is going to be made fun of. So that's not particularly only naruto's story. It's basically the story of every character weak at ninjutsu in the academy.

I am sure naruto said that he's still a genin to make the environment a bit stress free and kinda encourage them and since it's a fact that he never took the 'official' exam to qualify as a chunin.
