A being that older then anyone on that planet, smarter then Naruto? Oh nah you don't say. Doesn't take away Naruto's battle smarts though. You're troll thread failed.

None of which you said trumps the fact that Kurama has lived centuries and seen and been involved in many battles. He was aware of his actions..
Living for centuries doesn't mean squat in terms of battle IQ if it's not applied properly. Kurama may be more intelligent due to his centuries of wisdom however he is not smarter battle IQ wise.

Case and point: He fell for the same trick three times lol

How is it a troll thread? I actually believe Naruto is smarter than Kurama in terms of battle IQ. Not overall intelligence though.

Kurama has generations battle of experience and knowledge since Hagoromo's era which he could
I believe Naruto is smarter than Kurama in terms of Battle IQ.

Remember Hagaromo's fighting was during the pre juubi jin and possibly juubi jin era. By the time Kurama was created I don't think the sage fought at all (I mean who would revolt against a fully developed, COAT using Juubi jin?)

So to me that means Kurama didn't get ANY fighting experience from the sage.

What Naruto is better at is using shock tactics which the opponent usually do not expect which should equate to Kurama's superior knowledge and experience.

As of the post Juubi Jin era then you're right most porbably but I doubt it to be completely true considering BZ was still out there lurking. There's always a possibility that he'd influence others into fighting Hago when he wasn't a JJ no more. Besides all Kurama's existence he had to fight other ninjas trying to capture him and give the time he has lived I am quite certain he has fought against some very powerful ninjas including transmigrants.

It's the same usual nonsense. Don't know who's alt account that is. Garbage that is all they spout.
I simply don't get how that troll has managed to survive this long posting all that nonsense and spamming troll threads.

I think Kurama is just simply more intelligent than naruto at times and Kurama is actively sharing his knowledge/opinions/experiences with naruto in combat to give him an edge. While Naruto still has his own unique way of fighting as well so they even each other out.

Conflicted on my answer solely because of a narration in the manga. [ ] And OP is right in saying living for centuries doesn't mean squat wrt battle smarts if not we'll be saying every one older than Shikamaru has better battle smarts by default.

Then again, i can't really recollect all of Kurama's battle smart feats. Only one that comes to mind is the gathering of NE but couldn't that just have been due to the knowledge he already possessed about Hagoromo?

"Kurama has lived for hundreds of years, so he is automatically more smarter than Naruto."

Dumb logic. Black Zetsu has lived almost a thousand years, yet he was constantly getting out-smarted by Naruto during the final battle.

Momoshiki and Kishinki has lived more years than anyone bar Kaguya, yet he was out-smarted in battle by Boruto who barely has any battle experience.

Fukasaku who has lived more than 800 years, got completely out-smarted by Nagato who has barely lived 30.

The point? The instance of someone who lived and fought for a colossal amount of years doesn't necessarily imply such person is always going to be smarter than someone who has lived less. In fact, the experience that comes with living for long periods brings pride, and condescension. Both of which are catalysts behind the eventual fall. Furthermore, "battle smarts" only matters when your opponent is trying to be smarter. In a battle where the opponent induces unpredictability to his or her moves, the need of trying to out-smart such a person is difficult, since they aren't exactly trying to he smart. Unpredictability is a very difficult skill to utilise for the reason a user has to be able to camouflage their intentions. Hence, why Naruto is generally smarter than those he has fought against, since he constantly has to improvise so the viability of his plans is increased.

Remember Kuruma lead Kakashi, Naruto, Bee and Gai against Madara and Obito with his plans

he is 1000s of years old so he has experience in combat

Naruto is also a combat/instinct genius but again Kuruma has the weighted experience compared to multiple shinobi

Tbh, won't exactly call that a battle smart feat, more like a power/ability feat. Not sure being smart is required in gathering NE. The closest I can think for kurama is when he took charge when the juubi was revived, saying they step back, wait and see what attack the juubi usees, and then and counter based on that.

I'll say he and naruto compliment themselves. Naruto is better though especially when uses his clone feint and all

Yes, he was with Naruto all his life so he knows what Naruto knows plus what Kushina know, what Mito know. And even what Hashirama knows, what Minato knows.
