Can we all agree that Naruto is a prodigy or a genius to some degree?

Like come on, he mastered sage mode and created different various Rasengan.

This is a feat that the 4th Hokage couldn't pull. The 4th Hokage was hailed as the most gifted prodigy or genius that the hidden leaf ever had according the manga.

The thing is you guys refused to acknowledge Sasuke's hard work due to his genes. Y'all claiming his Uchiha blood allowed him to achieve such level in a short period of time.

Then y'all claimed that it was Naruto "HARD WORK" that allow him to achieve to such level in a short amount of time as if his Uzumaki blood wasn't as blessing as the uchiha blood or didn't have a role in his hard work.

I know you folks see the logic here.

Naruto is a prodigy and a genius to some degree. So like I said before. He ain't the face of "hard work"!

I think he is a genius in his own right. But he is no prodigy. To be honest, if he was guided earlier, he would be stronger than before.

He has sharp instincts, a strong will and an unconventional intelligence.

Right! Like if he had a master at a young age, he would've been a sage mode kid at the start of part 1. He ain't the face of "hard work". He is the face of "late boomer"!


No? How? Naruto mastered things that took people years to do!

The author tried to portray him as a hard worker but had utterly failed, or at least imo.

Part 1 naruto however is a different story.

Prodigies are mainly used for young children such as when Sasuke or Neji were back in the academy days. You can't really use that word on a 16-17 year old teenager.

ya he didn't have nine bijuu to do it for him, you right.

Then y'all claimed that it was Naruto "HARD WORK" that allow him to achieve to such level in a short amount of time as if his Uzumaki blood wasn't as blessing as the uchiha blood or didn't have a role in his hard work.
-mastered sage mode through hardwork and the best SM teacher. He didn't create different rasengans the bijuu did.

-yeah he didn't have nine bijuu to do it for him, you right.

-it was hard work and all the help he had. Uzumaki genes are only good for living longer.

If you wanna look at it like that, then only Sasuke should be the only ninja hailed as a prodigy in NV history. He had done two things in the manga that nobody could do. That Kirin jutsu and creating lightninng susanoo. Those two feats are shit that anybody would've died trying to do the same.

It wasn't hard work alone because it is not a result that other people could achieve through hardwork alone. This is the number one reason why he ain't the face of "hard work"!

His Uzumaki genes grant him a larger chakra pool! That's why they're perfect to be a jin

Late bloomer... makes sense. I guess not only in physical growth since he was the shortest of his age group.

I am talking about the word prodigy being used on a specific age group. I was not talking about whether he was able to do what others couldn't do. When have you seen a teenager being called a prodigy beside characters who were already considered one at a yound age?

In high schools, then in King of Hell Majeh was described as a prodigy despite being in the body of a 16 yo (nobody knew his true age until much later)

Give me a list of reasons why kid Sasuke and kid neji was hailed as a prodigy? Like when you think about part 1, I don't see any reason for any of them kids to be called ones. They all just worked hard on their own time to achieve certain result before joining a team. How many time we done seen Naruto and sasuke even it out during training during part 1? I just don't see any reason to call Sasuke a prodigy in part 1 really. He just put in the hard work to achieve those certain results during part 1.

I don't think kishi himself understands what a genius is. There are characters who achieved great things in very short spans of time but aren't called geniuses e.g Tobirama, obito(learned everything madara taught him in under a year), etc.

Nope! Ain't no hard-working prodigy. He is just a prodigy.

U can't deny that he didn't work hard,can u??? U definitely can't put him on the same level as other prodigies like sasuke and his dad.(not the level of their power,but intelligence,making strategies,etc.)
