Ebisu as far as we knew was a great trainer. During the invasion of Pain he held his own much better than Shikamaru would have done against the Naraka Path. So no Shikamaru being a Jōnin is bad. That just shows how bad the system is. Giving promotions to ones who don't deserve it. As for Naruto. Naruto has powerups, nough said.
