Most of the time hard working Shinobi beat their genius rival.

The only one I can think of that is genius stronger than his rival would be Kakashi.

And even that is assuming Guy was not allowed to use 8 gates. If Guy used 8 gates, it would be a draw.

Characters like Minato and Itachi might also be stronger than their rivals, if they had one. I am not including Neji because Rock Lee is probably stronger when using gates.

Hashirama was arguably the genius of his Indra/Ashura generation.

And Kakashi is not stronger than Gai. Even 7th gate gai.

I doubt w/o Naruto cloak, Kakashi would beat Gai even at 7 th Gate. His stamina is poor.

Kakashi would lose against the 6th Gate. Kakashi was not stronger than his rival but Hashirama was because countless times he had deeated Madara in their lifetime.

Hashirama and Madara are special cases. Both were genius and hard working. And Madara was reincarnation of Indra, so if anything, he should have been genius. But both are genius.

I never understood how Neji was stronger than Lee or how Kakashi was stronger than Guy. I don't believe he is.

Well Kakashi needs Obito's power to be stronger than Gai.
& about your last line Minato = Genius + Hard Work, that's why he was unrivaled.

Hard working shinobi never beat their genius rival. Not in this manga.

If Obito was alive he would've been the stronger one. He was already close to becoming stronger than Kid Kakashi when he unlocked his sharingan. <<< And Obito was Kakashi's "naruto" or "sasuke".


Hashirama was arguably the genius of his Indra/Ashura generation.

And Kakashi is not stronger than Gai. Even 7th gate gai.

Eh even for Hashi/Madara , Madara had more of the "Genius" hype.

And Kakashi is according to the manga canon stronger than 7th gate gai. Meaning he has his way of dealing with 7th gate gai. Mostly due to the fact in the manga Gai's "surpassing" moment occured when he oppened the 8th gate, before that you won't find any moment saying Gai is stronger than Kakashi, except the time where Gai was showing off.

kakashi is strong because of Sharingan

I doubt Sharingan less Kakashi can match 7th Gate Guy that beat Kisame

What arsenal he have that can match Hirudora?

Are you serious? lol

Are you dense? The OP asked was their was a Shinobi genuis who was stronger than their rival - i posted panels/a page showing Sasuke being stronger than Naruto.

It's not hard to comprehend.
