True, but once you get past S-class the old stat charts kinda break. Naruto would have ninjutsu 7, stamina 10, maybe?
I honestly think that we hit that pre-time skip with multiple characters (with 5's not meaning much because one person at a 5 can be much much faster than another at 5).

To an extent, but a little range within a single number is fine. Some S-class may bend the chart, but it's not until you get the really high tiers that the chart really breaks!
Now that I just reread the final chapter, I realized how rushed and shitty it was.
It's true that it's ridiculous how Sasuke ended up ****ing Sakura, since the former had no intimate feelings that developed whatsoever through the entire saga.
The fact that Salad looked like Karin didn't help either.
Though irrelevant, I understand how the 'shipping-fest' was rather butthurting for most NaruSasu/NaruSaku fantards.

One more ranking question for the chart: Should I list the new Kages in the S-rank? Since Kage is a position that almost always comes linked with the power.
They should remain ranked according to their latest feats, which were the feats they performed prior to becoming Kages.

I don't think so, since we have no feats to accurately measure their power levels post-4th Shinobi World War.They should remain ranked according to their latest feats, which were the feats they performed prior to becoming Kages.
This would be a separate ranking from their war-era ranks. It's just, well, when everyone of a rank tends to be of a level, that can be enough for an estimate.

How do we know if they are as strong as the previous Kages?Not all Kages are created equal.
Sure, but most Kage who aren't S are S+.
The only S- Kage we have in the entire listing is one who started out as S (at least S), but eventually got old and lost power. Every last other one has been S or better.
I find it interesting that Kakashi got to be a kage for awhile, while Ao at Mist and Kitsuchi were passed over, and with Onoki having much more reason to retire sooner than Tsunade no less. I could see Terumi hanging on til her boytoy was ready, but Kurotsuchi still seemed some years from Kage level yet came right after the oldest Kage.
