Howso?Orochimaru definitly isnt number one
and i think minato should be on this list
Kabuto isn't smarter than Orochimaru.1./Minato
2./Kabuto.
3./Oro
4./Itachi
5./Tobirama.
6./Shikamaru.
7./Shikaku.
8./Kurama.
9./Konan.
10./Deidara .
11./Madara .
Not in Order , except for 1 & 2 .
Exactly, they're not push-overs when it comes to intelligenceI think everyone is underestimating Shikimaru and Shikaku, they've been pulling the strings in this war.
I agree with some of these things, however finding things doesn't make you smart. It was never mentioned how he found madaras body or the dragon cave.Howso?
Created his own dimension from scratch
Deciphered a tablet from the sage without using his KKG
Was able to find Madara's body despite not having read the tablet
Was known as a genius in Konoha
Figured out to cut open the death reaper
Found the Dragon Cave
Found the secret to immortality
He surpassed Oro in every way , he did & perfected everything Oro couldn't do .Kabuto isn't smarter than Orochimaru.
How is Minato smarter than Orochimaru? (Not being mean, a genuine question)Alrighty then here is my list:
1) It is debatable, but has to be Minato
2) Again debatable, but I choose you, Pika.. wait.. Kabuto/orochimaru (because where would kabuto be without him?)
3) Shikaku/shikamaru. I haven't seen many times where Shikakus intelligence had to be used, Shikamaru, on the other hand was a semi-main character
4) In terms of tactical intelligence and the ability to read his enemies so quickly with his KGG I would have to put Itachi here
5) Madara in terms of brute strength and the ability to incorporate that with his intelligence.
6)Sausage, well because, he is badass. However, he is NOT smarter than Itachi (Scans or GTFO)
7) Perhaps Nagato? I mean he has shown some pretty bad ass jutsus, but are they really derived from his intelligence?
8) Kiba HAHAHAHAHHA no... umm.. I think I'll place naruto here. Although he doesn't have much intelligence, his bad ass power well makes up for the slack. He uses other peoples intelligence wisely and incorporates it into his attacks. He also has Kurama which feeds him intel on the go.
9) Kakashi, should be soo higher on this list, but I'm too lazy to amend it and I forgot about him since Obito has him in his rape dimension.
10) Tobirama, Again he should be so much higher on this list. He created a bunch of the fundemental jutsus all naruto characters use. For example, the shadow-clone Jutsu.
Just plain brilliant.are we talking strategist , tactician or just plain brilliant?
I'm thinking more tactician > strategist > plain brilliantare we talking strategist , tactician or just plain brilliant?
well your list is pretty spot on but i would put minato above itachi.Just plain brilliant.
