I kind of find it stupid that Sakura and Shikamaru are the only members of the Konoha 11 to be promoted in the two year time skip for The Last. Shikamaru, no offense to his fans, sort of sucks to be considered a Jōnin. He is hardly recognizable as a Chūnin let alone being a supposed Jōnin. Shikamaru maybe a Tokubetsu for his brain power which I say is overrated. At least Shino could've been a Tokubetsu Jonin for his great tactics especially as he thinks on the spot unlike Shikamaru who needs a few hours to think of something simple. Kiba could've been a Jōnin. The only people they I assumed wouldn't have been promoted yet would've been Ino, Chōji, Shikamaru (more or less), Hinata and possibly Tenten (more likely to have gotten promoted than Shikamaru.
