But that does beg the question, Why is he classed with Sakura and Sauske? I thought Naruto was Younger than them (too lazy to look it up). I get the every 6 months thing, but the age difference. They made no note of Sauske or Sakura failing before. They didn't seem the type. I just like finding little things like this and picking at em ^^

Naruto is not much younger than them. the day Naruto was born kushina was walking to her delivery with hiruzens wife and came across sasukes mom holding him while he was still a baby. sasuke and naruto are only at most a few months apart.

and by that Logic, and Sauske being a genius prodigy child of the class, he should be passed Naruto if they are the same age, because Naruto has failed Twice. Plot hole. :D
