We obviously can't change the way things are now, but I strongly believe that the ninja ranking system is faulty, in that there are too few ranks, and the gradation between ranks is hardly constant, and definitely unfair.

I mean, look at the Chunin exams - they have consistently been difficult and laborious, even resulting in deaths. It happened when people like Ibiki and Kakashi took the test, it happened when Naruto did it, when Sakura and Neji did it after him, and while the latter was not true when Boruto took the exams, they were fairly brutal. And then, almost undermining all of this, we see scores of Chunin taking part in the Ninja World War, later on, only to be slaughtered shamelessly.

What I'm emphasizing here is that the sheer depreciation in the value of the Chunin rank is horrifying. You have this enormous, brutal test, and suddenly, everybody around you is a Chunin already.

But with a 4th, intermediate rank, we could essentially clear this crisis. Your thoughts?
