The title says it all.
How is itachi a genius.
He made poor life decisions and he hasn't done anything that would mark him a true genius like let's say orochimaru and minato.
He hasnt created any jutsu. I give him points for unlocking susanoo
He wasn't the first to get ms. He actually is second to last.
And all his plans for sasukes future failed greatly. He created a monster and Put the shinobi world and konoha in jeopardy.
Why would a genius fill his little brothers life with hatred and force him to lean towards revenge.
To be honest he is no genius.
But he is one of the most blessed shinobi to ever live. He was born with unbelievable talent. And is a sharingan master. Just not a genius.

NOW...let the flaming begin. Give me your best shot :D

Be prepared for the onslaught from Itachi fanboys.

he mastered his sharingan at the age of 8, anbu captain @ 13(he is a genius). He was forced into tough decisons and he swallowed his pride and did everything for the sake of the leaf village. blame the elders! Besides how many other ninjas in the manga can plan out things even after their death to the extent that he did? :shrug: give credit where credit is due :D

I did give him credit. And all that stuff he did in his youth is not genius. It's raw talent. Two different things. He spend over half of his life coming up with a plan that failed dramatically. He is one of the strongest shinobi in the series. But not a genius. Your a itachi fan so all your doing is looking at everything he's done and picked out the bad to make it seem all good when it isn't good. :D

I hate flamers and fanboys too bro ;) My only loyalty is to Da Toads :D

But, that being said, I would say that the guy that created Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, and a Susanoo that had the Yata Mirror and the Sword of Totsuka was pretty freakin' genius, not a total genius. No one else other than Sasuke has ever been shown to use any of those jutsu and Sasuke never used any of them until Itachi gave them to him by a poke on the head. That's one h*ll of a transference of jutsu poke on the forehead!!! Still not genius??? You are totally right about his choices i.e. kill off his entire clan, mom, dad, and he left only his little bro. :flaw: No one really knows what would've happened if the Uchiha completed their coup d'état or if it would've started another Ninja War. But, we do know that his little brother has flipped and he just wants to kill everyone and everything. So, I would say Sharingan and tactician genius but definitely not in making choices that effect the future of what he truly cares about genius. So, yes and no. :)

That is a girl.
And how does his words with kisame make him a genius? Kisame understands him because they both killed their comrades you idiot.

lol yes i'm an Itachi fan xd The whole slaughtering of his clan was sad, but the elders took advantage of his calm nature, knowing he hated war and would do anything to prevent another. If he hadn't killed his clan, everyone but him would have died, including Sasuke. Itachi is a genius, but he's no Shikamaru meaning IQ wise. :lili: Talent can be seen as being a genius, pending how great of a talent and how it's being used. ex a child can b a genius at playing a piano pending on how well they play it and how young they are aka prodigy

I like the way you laid this out. I agree. On the battlefield he is a genius. But his poor life decision his what separates him from others like minato an orochimaru. Oro may have been weird but his decision and his plans for his won future were well planned out and true. And he became as strong as he was because of it. Minato too. All itachi did was cause pain and suffering. And killed his family.

Itachi praised by all as the best of his generation; a genius above all others. Even by the standards of the battle-adept Uchiha clan, Itachi's prowess far outshone them.

At age 7, he graduated from the Ninja Academy at the top of his class after only one year, mastered the Sharingan at age eight, passed the Chūnin Exams at age 10, and became an ANBU Captain at age 13.

Even at a young age, Itachi's intellect and talent showed their brilliance in everything he did, as even his teachers said his progress hardly required any help. In the few battles he had been seen in since the start of the series, Itachi was shown to be an incredibly powerful ninja, as demonstrated by his ability to easily defeat several powerful shinobi. Despite his pride in his own strength, Kisame Hoshigaki, Itachi's partner in Akatsuki, acknowledged Itachi as the stronger of the two. Madara said that Itachi never ceased to amaze him, and Kabuto recognised that he had underestimated his intelligence, after he managed to break free of his control through the use of Shisui's dojutsu.

um yea i would ask that question too, becuase yea i can see that he mastered his sharingan which is sorta genius but ambu at age 13, i mean if u really look at the anbu's other than kashi and him..all of them suck, and his dad was capt of the police force so he probly had somthing to do with that..the only reason why i would say he is a genius is because he stopped orochimaru (genius) , and he was undefeatable til death...but as i saw most people didnt want to really say, becuase they dont have a good answer other than "stfu" xD
