Making this for the sake of having a thread before applying these.
I'll make it short.
Currently, the mid-tiers of Naruto, such as the the Jonins, are all "8-A" via powerscaling from two different feats. Itta's 350 tons feat, and Jirobo's casual 500-ton Slamming Palm.
This seems fine from a first glance, but I approved it at the time to act as a placeholder rating. After rethinking this, they should be upgraded to Low 7-C.
The reasons are:
1. High-level Jonins such as Kakashi and Asuma should likely scale above Kid Butterfly Choji (who is Low 7-C) since his best feat is one-shotting Jirobo, something Base Kimimaro, a low jonin-level, could also replicate.
2. The 454 ton feat was performed casually by a guy who is explicitly portrayed as leagues below even the average Jonin. The entire Sound Four together, fighting at their absolute highest power, could barely defeat two tired out Special Jonins. That was a 4v2 against two tired out opponents who are technically not even Jonin level, and they just barely edged it out.
3. The 350 ton feat was performed by a chunin, meaning jonins and Akatsuki-level characters scale heavily above it.
4. Last but not least, I calculated Gaara's sand at Low 7-C a few hours back, so the other reasons were just me strengthening this rating.
4a. Base "Itachi" has a Low 7-C feat that scales directly to Kakashi right on the beginning of Shippuden
Additionally, Akatsukis should be 7-C since Choji's feat is so close to 7-C. This makes way more sense with the power progression, since a character that the databooks describe as sub Tsuchikage level" has a 7-C feat, namely Kitsuchi.
Summary

Summary
- Change all Jonin-level characters to Low 7-C.
- Change almost all Akatsukis to 7-C.
