Quick question, as this isn't present in the wiki anywhere...and I might have missed this in the manga but do they explicitly state what Ranks Naruto went through? THe implication from what I can tell WOULD be that he DID actually go through Chunin, Jounin etc in the interim period, we just didn't see all that...or perhaps he did so "on paper" or something (kinda like taking the exams to pass a class instead of going to the class all semester). But I feel like from what we see, it SEEMS to be that this is a rare instance where a genin becomes Kage (discounting any "on the paper" stuff he'd have had to do to fullfill "legal requirements" or something)...Can someone enlighten me on this?
