There was a
CRT about this before, but it was forgotten because people weren't really interested in Naruto Part 1 CRTs.
Also, it is seen as a problematic scaling due to another multiplier expression that will appear in the later episodes. In the next season,
Chunin Exams, you will meet a character named Rock Lee. Rock Lee is a genin and has a gate opening technique that can increase his own power by 5 times. Only the 1st gate gives a 5-fold increase. It is not known how many times the other gates increase, but the one who opens the 5th gate becomes stronger than 5x in any way, it is enough to know this for now.
Zabuza is scaled to Kakashi. Zabuza's suiton clones are scaled to one tenth of his power. If Sasuke is scaled to Zabuza's suiton clones, Lee, who defeated Sasuke at the beginning of the Chunin Exam without EVEN opening the 1st GATE, is one tenth as strong as Zabuza. If he opens the gate and becomes 5 times stronger, he will become 26,575 Megatons. And Lee is not even Jonin level in this season. My own opinion is that he should be at least Jonin level with the 5th gate, but I don't think this is accepted in this wiki.
Someone previously mentioned a scan in
Chunin Exam that Gaara was in the jonin league, but that was just a fanbook for the anime. Then in a season, you will encounter a team called the
Sound Four. T
hese guys fought against 2 Jonin who were tired after a new mission. And they see 2 Jonin as challenging for themselves. It is accepted that everyone in the Jonin league is at least as strong as the Sound Four. Although 5th Gate Lee is not considered weaker than the Sound Four, it is actually a good scaling, but the idea of having genin close to Kakashi may seem strange to some.
