I'm just wondering if one of them (Naruto and Sasuke) becomes Hokage, is he
promoted from Genin rank directly to Hokage?

Can Naruto or Sasuke be promoted directly from Genin to Hokage?


While I am not 100% sure about the transition from Genin to Kage, I do know
that Gaara was at most a Chuunin before becoming the Kazekage. So, it would
seem that a jump in ranks would be justified under special conditions of
ability.

In any case, why should there be a need for a direct promotion? If Naruto (or
Sasuke I guess) has plans to become Hokage, it does not mean that they have an
intention to skip the transitions between ranks (although I'm sure there would
be some sort of allowance for them to "test out").

Yes, they can.

The rank 'Genin' is usually associated with ninjas which just started out in
the ninja academy or as a derogatory term for ninjas with no talent in
ninjutsu.

However, Sasuke and Naruto have advanced beyond leaps and bounds. Especially
now they have received the blessing _we all already knew they had_ directly
from The Sage of the Six Paths.

So yes, I think they can be upgraded from Genin (if they are still perceived
as such) to Hokage.

Well because Naruto is already hokage I guess you can jump from ranks because
he has been a genin this whole time because he lost against konohomaru in the
chuunin exams
