Good episode. I'm happy we get to see the Hidden Stone village cause that's a place that hasn't been explored much. This arc has been pretty interesting. I really liked the phone conversation between Naruto and Kurotsuchi. I'm looking forward to seeing her more in this arc.
Yup. The Jonin rank is in a weird place when now "Genin" can mean having access to 3 different chakra natures (which used to be something that was expected of Jonin) and "Kage" means demigod.
