At the end, did Naruto skip Chunnin and Jounin rank before becoming Hokage?


In chapter 700 of Naruto manga (last chapter) it was shown that [Uzumaki
Naruto](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Uzumaki) finally reached his dream
of becoming Hokage. It was also shown that he didn't achieve it immediately
after the 4th Shinobi War ended as [Hatake
Kakashi](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kakashi_Hatake) was the 6th Hokage and
Naruto was the 7th.

AFAIK, even when fighting [Otsutsuki
Kaguya](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kaguya_%C5%8Ctsutsuki), Naruto was a
Genin as he never passed the Chuunin nor Jounin exam (as far as the manga is
concerned). There is an anime where [Naruto took the Chuunin
exam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1eWFKjFdtU), but he failed after
disqualified due to using Sage Mode.

It was shown in Naruto the Movie "Road to Ninja", that to become Jounin, one
must become a Chuunin first. However it is also to be noted that [double
promotion is also
possible](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/19371/is-it-possible-for-
a-genin-to-become-a-jonin/19479#19479).

4th, 5th, and 6th Hokage were all Jounin prior to being Hokage. I'm not sure
about the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Hokage, although strength-wise they are stronger
than your average Jounin. The [next
Hokage](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hokage) was chosen either by the current
Hokage, or the Daimyou of the Land of Fire. No other requirements was listed
on the Wikia.

So, to the question, has Naruto reached the rank of Jounin when he was
selected as the 7th Hokage? Or was he still a Genin, since it didn't actually
matter much considering that everyone knows who he is, that he was the hero
who saved Konoha from Pain, and more importantly the world from Infinite
Tsukuyomi.
