It requires certain skills -leadership skills and risk assessments- and when it comes to that, there's simply no way Naruto - a guy who charges in first and makes it up as he goes along- fits the Chunin bill.

So again it's not really a military rank. the leadership skills you are talking about are required for chunin platoon leader or someone like shikamaru or jonin level ninja. Under present circumstances they could have promoted him to chunin at least considering the fact that he's more qualified than someone like kiba, ino ,lee and other members of konoha 11. Infact by now most are near jonin level so chunin level promotion should have been given to him..........
