So they went to a mixed normal/ninja school up until 12 years

Same way the rest of America does.

Naruto is Hokage though which requires a shit load of paperwork. And how could Shikamaru be a genius other than tactics and chess.

The ninja magic does everyting

Is Naruto American?

They're basically peasants who were taught how to stab people, peasants don't need no maths

>>147639209
>How do these kids function without higher Math
Ever heard of child soldiers? Same thing. Hell I think I even remember them stating this.

They went to a school that specifically teaches them how to be ninja. They teach them regular things like maths and shit if only to help them blend in while undercover.

If we're bitching about ninja school, how come all of the other genin were Naruto's age if the first chapter mentioned he failed his graduation exam twice?

Students can probably choose to take the final exam before "graduation"; as Itachi and Kakashi have been shown to have graduated much earlier than a normal genin; Naruto probably got cocky and tried to take the exam early and got busted twice.

It was implied Chuunin had expanded studies. Sakura comments how the problems in that one written test that they took for the preliminaries that they were Chuunin level problems.

Whether their training was supposed to be institutionalized or independent is a whole different question

Was it only once a year you could take it? I always thought it was a few times during your last year like the SAT or something

All you need is silent kill. Ninja are assassins and spies.
