My ninja genius list.

[Maunten]

0. Minato - he is at the top because not only is he a tactical genius be he is a pioneer of many renowed jutsu, he also defeated tobi who has not lost to any other.

1.tobi - the most brilliant mind in the narutoverse atm and has only lost to one shinobi, he almost lost to another but that one had been preparing for their fight and had ammased a few billion explosives.

2. Hiruzen - He is a tactical genius and mastered all of the jutsu of the leaf

3. Shikamaru - tactical prodigy his clan is known for their strategic prowess, and he makes the must of his clans secret shadow jutsu.

4.Madara and Izuna. Both learnt mangekyo sharingan at an early age and took over the uchiha clan before age 17.

5.Itachi - He is one of the only uchiha that I don't see spamming mangekyo, and when he does use mangekyo he makes the most of tsukuyomi, having mastered it to a great extent.

6.Kakashi - tactical genius, you have all seen his fights. It was also mentioned that his non sharingan eye has a knack for being able to memories jutsu, which may have aided him in gaining the title copycat ninja.

7. Kabuto - Amassed a huge amount of knowledge in a search for who he was, is a commander in the the 4th ninja war.


I might get flamed for shikamaru being in there but I think I would have gotten flamed (by real naruto fans) if I didn't he is show time and time again for having a brilliant mind so he goes in at number 3.

 

[Lightning Release]

Anyone that flames you because of Shikamaru being on the list is a complete retard.

 

[Midday]

Kabuto and Tobi are the real geniuses of the series.

 

[Maunten]

Kabuto and Tobi are the real geniuses of the series.

Kabuto, did manage what no one else could, and tobi is on another level, I'm gona change it tobi is number one.

 

[Uchiha Madara Senju]

1. Minato - he is at the top because not only is he a tactical genius be he is a pionerr of many renowed jutsu.

2. Hiruzen - He is a tactical genius and mastered all of the jutsu of the leaf


3. Shikamaru - tactical prodigy his clan is known for their strategic prowess, and he makes the must of his kekkie genkai.

4.Madara and Izuna. Both learnt mangekyo sharingan at an early age and took over the uchiha clan before age 17.

5.Itachi - He is one of the only uchiha that I don't see spamming mangekyo, and when he does use mangekyo he makes the most of tsukuyomi, having mastered it to a great extent.

6.Kakashi - tactical genius, you have all seen his fights. It was also mentioned that his non sharingan eye has a knack for being able to memories jutsu, which may have aided him in gaining the title copycat ninja.

shikamaru does not have a kekkei genkai
other wise ... good list

Huh lol, oh that shadow tech is not a kekkei genkai?

 

[johnny335704]

You can easily consider Hashirama and Shikaku also in this list.

Hashirama used his brilliance to convince Uchiha clan, made truce with them and co-founded Konoha. He defeated Madara (a genius) + Kyubi alone. He wrote a large scroll of many forbidden jutsus. I think an average ninja can not do that.

Shijkaku Nara is father of Shikamaru. His IQ is higher than Shikamaru. He is chief strategist of 4th Ninja world war. His shadow jutsus are stronger than Shikamaru. Shikaku advised Shikamaru whenever he was confused & defeated Shikamru at shogi every time they played together. So he should also be counted in the list of genius ninjas.

 

[CleverMonkey]

Huh lol, oh that shadow tech is not a kekkei genkai?

Nope, but it is a Hiden witin the Nara clan

 

[Aze]

This is a decent list

 

[ItachiSan03]

Good list, but mine would be:
1. Itachi, because he planned out his and sasukes whole life and even had backup plans.
2. Minato, for the reasons you mentioned.
3. Tobi for obvious reasons.
4. Shikamaru, tactial genius
5. Hiruzen
6. Kakashi
7. Madara and izuna
8. Kabuto. Hes a genius too but hes not higher on my list cuz i think anyone can just get peoples dna and inject in himself. . . . Xd
But he is a genius because he found ryuchidou and figured everything out about juugo and all and knows a lot about so6p

Edit: forgot about shikaku

Hashirama used his brilliance to convince Uchiha clan, made truce with them and co-founded Konoha. He defeated Madara (a genius) + Kyubi alone. He wrote a large scroll of many forbidden jutsus. I think a stupid ninja can not do that.

Shijkaku Nara is father of Shikamaru. His IQ is higher than Shikamaru. He is chief strategist of 4th Ninja world war. His shadow jutsus are stronger than Shikamaru. Shikaku advised Shikamaru whenever he was confused & defeated Shikamru at shogi every time they played together. So he should also be counted in the list of genius ninjas.

You know what I was thinking about putting him on that list but, I didn't want nukers on the list he is powerful and a talented ninja, but does he only seem smart because he has so much chakra and a wood release?

He learnt how to seal the jubi from the uzumakis who were a sealing clan, it was really his brother tobimaru who founded the police force, the anbu and really settled the village down after the peace treaty.

It was his daughter who formed the healing nin division that konoha knows today, hashirama was charismatic, maybe that is a kind of genius but I think his brother deserves to be up there more than him.

 

[Sarutobi Sasuke]

Huh lol, oh that shadow tech is not a kekkei genkai?

No. its a "Hidden jutsu".

Come to think of it, Jiraiya used a Shadow Manipulation technique in the rain village.

 

[Maunten]

Btw thanks to both people who cleared up that shadow tech thing for me, I've thought it was a kekkei genkai for years lol.

Oh yeah shikaku, I think I am guilty of leaving him out because he is a vet as well head of the nara clan and tactical brilliance might be expected of him.

You know what though he might need to go above tobi, he the head strategist for the allied shinobi forces.

 

[HitmanSasuke23]

Kimimaro who was by far the strongest member of the kaguya clan and was locked away because his own clan feared him. His level of taijutsu was extremely high as he defeated naruto, lee, and Gaara sick with just sheer will power...

Haku-to have analytical skill that he had to be able to see a jutsu one time and immediately devise a counter for it is simply impressive...he mastered all the jutsu that Zabuza knew plus the mastery of his own blood line...

I agree with this but I have 2 issues

1. these people show talent, maybe not genius

2. they were used a pawns, which takes away from their mental reliability.

 

[MisterPro]

sasuke should be there

 

[Stark]

Somewhat agree

 

[Shinozgr8]

orochimaru...?

 

[Maunten]

sasuke should be there

No..no he shouldn't, also stop trying to start a flame war here -.-
