It's not an easy task and mine is as correct as it gets, so maaaaybe you should save yourself the work^^ Thanks for the information, but what I still don't understand is that Naruto has failed the academy graduation exam two times prior to the start of the series (I.E. two years in a row), and yet the other classmates who have graduated have been at the academy for a longer period of time than him. (Shikamaru, Choiji, and Sasuke appear in the same academy classroom) Therefore, going by Naruto failing the graduation exam twice in a row, I'm assuming its held once per year. But going by that all of the Rookie Nine should have graduated prior to the time that they graduated in canon.
