Shikamaru's intelligence really was the best

His intellect allowed him to teach the greatest strategies possible. If you can't face the enemy head on, you must resort to ambushes and/or surprise attacks :elmo:

Itachi solos

I wonder who's the better stategist? I mean Itachi is obviously the more powerful ninja but if Shikimaru knew of all his MS abilities and had time to prep...could he beat Itachi back?

I wonder....

my vote goes to itachi, having an understanding of his power is one thing but having the skill to outsmart him and counter his jutsu is another. itachi is way ahead of shikimaru

I agree but successful surprise attacks or ambushes correlates directly with intelligence & strategy, there especially impressive when they K'O your opponent (more so when your opponent has eye prowess).

Strategy can only take you so far, if you don't have the brawn to back up your brain, you're not going to get very far. Itachi would still over come Shikimaru.

I don't know, intelligence is great, but what he says there is pretty simple and obvious :| But then again, we know Kishi isn't a genius himself so yeah.

Yeah, Itachi was truly wisest of all in konoha smartness intelligence is one thing, while knowledge and wisdom is another and he can truly outwit anyone with prep like batman in dc.
