Hm...auto-run SHOULD be available though...I do agree strongly on this point.
IF anything...at least give it to the Jonin Medals.
Jonin Medals already have no time delay between ranked battles and can auto complete bounty missions...why not give them the ability to Auto-Run to Kurama and instantly start fighting it?(toggle)
This would also get people to buy the Jonin Medal(hint-hint) since a lot of people sit around and do NOTHING during the Kurama fight.

The other day I was rank 26 and I only attacked Kurama twice....I'm not even that strong either!! lol

Skipping Ranked Battles could be a possibility. When I use a skill and Tobi will dodge it...no one appears around my Breezie(or other ninja attacking him) because the AI knows I have missed before the animation appears. The hit chance has already been taken into account BEFORE my rasengan is launched. So this means the game could in fact process the end result based on everyone's hit chance.

I watch a lot of my Ranked Battles and would not use the skip function(if it existed) on most people only because I want to know how I won or how I lost so that I can change that and win the next time.

I would much rather get a replay system. I would like to know how I lost my rank to certain people while I was not there. Basically....being rank 10 and dropping to rank 12 while I was offline. I would like to know how I was beaten so I can change things and beat them back lol but that would require some sort of system that would replay a battle at least the previous 1 or 2
