Why do people still think

[Cosman]

@The Bold:

There's a difference between stupidity, and personality. It's part of his personality to be loud, goofy and outgoing. To many people those are "stupid" traits, but it doesn't apply to intelligence at all. Just character and or personality.

Ehhh... Moments like thinking Kurenai ate too much beef when she was actually pregnant kind of take away from that. I think it's just Naruto's inability to pick up on social cues and so on. Not being around people for so long clearly had an effect on how perceives things. At some point in his childhood he started fighting for attention and likely ignored the basics in growing up.

He's not really stupid. He's just... not mature yet. Hasn't gotten everything fully in order. He can't really grasp concepts like spatial reconstruction unless he gets a thorough demonstration. He learns mostly through his body because he's just shut off all other ways of communication. I think that's really brilliant from Kishi.

naruto has his smart moments but then has other moments that makes you question how smart he is.

 

[msbishop92]

Lets just put it this way.

Naruto acts like a numb skull for two seconds and then all of the haters come pouring out of their caves.

Well how about this! Why does no one ever shun Goku for being an idiot?

The more you know!

This is actually a brilliant way of putting it. You took the words right outta my mouth.

EDIT: Then wrote them!

Because Goku is awesome, that is all.

kakashi and kurama admit naruto as mature. naruto not only body learner.

Maybe in a different way?

 

[-ahhimane-]

I'm with ya!!
Naruto's smartness is like the intermittent bubbles bubbling out from a boiling water. He himself doesn't know when he acted smartly =D
That's the Naruto character I liked the most

 

[Raekwon26]

I don't think he's smart.

Not at all really.

 

[Hyuga Prodigy]

You are so dumb idiot retard if you think Naruto is smart

 

[H a n]

He is a quick learner. The will of fire plays a good role in Naruto life as well..

Naruto is very smart battle wise, foreign affairs wise, and is overall a pretty smart character.

But his dumb moments make you wanna slap your forehead, and I don't really see him being a smart "Political" leader. Something Ay is actually good at.

Naruto needs to be taught by the kages in "How to be a political leader", which I'm sure would be great.

INB4 people call me a Naruto hater/Sasuke fanboy:
If Sasuke truly wants to become Hokage, he'll need to learn a few things:
1. Learn to apologize to the people he tried to kill (B and Gaara could prob forgive him, Ay wouldn't)
2. Learning how to care about people in general.

So yes, Naruto has a MUCH higher chance at being Hokage.

 

[Amaterasuice]

made plan which killing all peoples for peace ? dat smart.

Sometimes power is needed for peace. The plan itself is genius, the morals of it however are horrible. The so6p used love+power to cause peace, and his sons and their descendents only took one way of it. Besides Itachi, Shisui, Tobirama, Hashirama, and Kagami who used both

this. naruto like gaara need some mature advisors in beginning of their kages role.

Naruto isn't smart??? Lol what does he have to do to prove he's smart?!?!?
Lol he was the only person besides Tobirama to pick up on obito's weakness....sasuke didn't realize it neither did Minato heck I don't think even obito realized it
Not to mention how he figured out 3rd raikage's weakness sooo quick
And I always see naruto haters going Naruto is too stupid to be hokage.....
1. Just cause you're not book smart it doesn't mean you're dumb....you can be battle smart like naruto or Hashi
2. You don't have to be shika smart to be a kage don't believe me ask A and don't forget Tobirama has said that Hashi isn't "that" smart and also he said naruto could be better hokage than Hashi and how he reminds him of Hashi

The reason Y naruto knows about obito weakness is because he is fimiliar with that frog's senjutsu.. He even had senjutsu power using sage mode him self. Charecter like minato and tobirama only knows senjutsu from J-man and hashirama. Tobirama only realize obito can't erase the frog jutsu. When naruto use sage mode he realize that it had similar energy.. That's all that tobirama realize.
Besides that naruto got experiance felling the 10tail energy is natural energy. Meaning naruto got info that the others don't.

Same gose to figuring out 3rd raikage's weakness. He knows that from info given by 8tail. U can't say naruto is smarter then the rubber-man. BECAUSE naruto ask 8tail what happen in that fight and after the fight with 3rd raikage. Meaning naruto got info from 8tail him self not by his own.

Another thing, Minato told naruto and sasuke how the FTG works (meaning naruto & sasuke got info about FTG from minato). Sakura realise that the ninja alliance still got kurama's chakra, so dose naruto (meaning naruto and sakura got info that kurama's chakra is just diminish not disappear.)
Naruto got 2 infos. While minato, sakura, sasuke only know 1 info. That's Y non of the 3 (minato, sasuke and sakura) can't figure it out how to teleport The ninja alliance because they didnt get enough info.

 

[tyltyl]

He's smart to come up with quick counter attacks and strategies. But he lacks knowledge in hand signs, sealing, etc.... He acts dumb sometimes but that is just a get away from the chaos that is going on.

I agree with this.

 

[FitzChivalry Farseer]

He goes with his gut feeling. It doesnt matter if your smart or dumb if you dont have the courage to follow through with your word then that makes you less than trash.

 

[Naijakid]

True Naruto has gotten pretty strong both psychologically

 

[Versatile jutsu]

90% Naruto outside of battle stupidity result only of lonely childhood and because no one taught him elemental life things like woman pregnancy.
