I know it wasnt an episode, but the OVA Chūnin Exam on Fire! Naruto vs. Konohamaru! It was just entertaining and which makes it even more obvious that Naruto did everything to become Hokage. So i think it is fine that he jumped from Genin to Hokage. Regarding this episode, Shikamaru definitely gave it thought into how to make this test challenging, but didnt want to really get involved every second because that would be too much work. That is why he let them scream and yell or do whatever because the real worthy ninja will figure a way out if they want to become a chunin and lead a mission.
