In the Hidan arc, was Shikamaru's fighting ability at the level of a Jonin or even a Special Jonin? He outperformed "those other two guys from Naruto" and surpassed Choji and Ino who were supposed to be Chunin. Therefore, how would you rank his power, skill, and overall standing during this arc? If you were Hokage, would you have considered promoting him after this battle?
