Can't argue with that if the MC actually hides his strength. Of all tropes, it just have to be this one.

He would have been pressured to take one and staying as a genin with such strength, not to mention when he came from a prominent family, is bound to raise some eyebrows. To others, he might've looked like someone shirking his duties.

It could be also that he doesn't care much about his reputation.

Aren't you a bit too old for that?
