There is more to it than being able to beat a tough foe.
I'll note his authority does seem exceptional for a chunin- Being put in charge of the exams, for example, and serving as Gaara's proxy, so I doubt Tsunade's holding him back. I'm guessing it's a matter that he still needs to train his raw stats up.
Well, it's not like Neji has a large array of skills either. Mostly just taijutsu and scouting abilities. He has not really demonstrated the potential to be a leader like Shikamaru has and certainly is behind him in terms of planning.
At the very least, I'd think he'd deserve to be a Tokubetsu Jonin.

But, combat-power wise, he is still well above Shikamaru IMO. Great offense and defense, capable against many or few foes, plenty of chakra, etc..

That I agree with.

One possibility is simply waiting for the next promotion cycle. Hidan's defeat is still relatively recent.

at least this is the logical assumption, unless you're one of those guys who thinks that an arthritic hipped man in his 90's is still able to casually lift a small mountain with one hand like he was a waiter at denny's with my muthafcukin platter of bacon 😛
It's not really semantics. If someone is 'weightless', they shouldn't be able to move without the help of something like thrusters or external forces.
He does have the ability to defy the laws of gravity though.
Meh, the logical assumption would be that this is an unexplained occurrence. Personally, I believe that he used both strength and his ability to carry the Turtle.

Nah. It's something similar to Peter Pan sh*t. Fairy dust type of something.It really is kind of stupid, imo. I mean, really...flying with magic fairy dust?
Meh. I hope this shit gets explained. Though it would be just like Kishi if he didn't explain it. Maybe the next Databook I guess.

😛 If only I had read back some eh?Sure he does, he is Edo Tensei now. Nothing can stop him now. He was nearly unstoppable as a Hyuuga except for his seal. Now he shall show Raikage that killing him was a bad idea. lol
Raikage was scared of Hizashi that's why he ordered Hiashi's head. He knew they'd kill his twin instead.
Next time, do so. 😛
Nahh, Konoha's government & the Hyuuga themselves were scared of the Raikage, which is why they wanted to avoid War. It's also why Hizashi sacrificed himself. He was secretly afraid that if War broke out, he'd have to face and get pwned by the Raikage. 😛
Now that he's dead, Raikage does not need to bother with him. He'll order Hiashi to fight him. 😛

In all seriousness, I have to agree. The Raiton armor should render gentle fist completely ineffective.
Not to mention, he'll probably be too fast for them if he powers up his Raiton shroud.

Actually since his raiton armor is made of chakra lightning, gentle fist probably wouldn't be affected by it.He still tears their heads of before they can do shit about it anyway so it's a moot point.

I think his armor only stops physical attacks.
On one hand, Sasuke's Chidori (and his Chidori sword), one of the best piercing-type attacks, failed to fully penetrate him in his armor.
While on the other hand, Amaterasu itself, & Enton: Kagutsuchi's spikes went through it as if it were paper. I'm guessing the armor stops physical attacks, so if Chidori can't get through it...

When was that stated (I honestly don't remember). Didn't Kidomaru have gentle-fist resistant armor?

And that armor was liquid metal that solidified. Seems more of a KG thing.

Chidori is different than Gentle Fist though. It's just a powerful blow meant to do a good deal of damage to the opponent, whereas Gentle Fist is used to deal with things specifically made from chakra.

That's costly. You aren't going to get off a whole 64 palms if you do that.
Eh, probably not. Then again, not saying that the Hyugga would even beat A, so it's irrelevant.

He will not get off one. 😐A is an S class Kage, he would crush Hiashi and Hizashi, at the same time.
Hizashi will in all likelihood fight Neji.
He could take on every Hyuuga named in the series thus far, excluding Hanabi of course.
Would be nice to see him fight Hiashi though.
