Minato and tobi, and of course orochimaru.
The fuck? no one voted for kakashi yet. He deserves more votes than shikamaru and madara.

He was able to figure out tobi's abilities in seconds and he was fighting tobi for the first time.

By that logic Jiraiya should be on there too because he was able to figure out Nagato's abilities. I still don't understand why any one would even consider comparing his intelligence to some one like Orochimaru, shikamaru, or even Itachi.

There are multiple forms of intelligence. Some people pick up ninja techs and concepts really fast, like Itachi or Kakashi. Other people can think really fast, like Minato. However IMO, IQ is the most important form, because it is the most useful outside of a ninja's life. If Itachi or kakashi wasn't a ninja, most of the basis for their claims to 'greatest genius in NU' are gone. On the other hand, Shikamaru would still have his 200+ IQ.

Itachi no doubt about it.Also why tobirama is not in the list he he creted edo tensei and had s/t jutsu even before the 4th,so he definitely should qualify as a genius

Hiruzen was a genius wasnt he? I dont know if you go by intellectual capabilities or physical skill, but I remember someone saying that Hiruzen - in his prime, was the strongest Hokage. Dont know about the validity of this statement, but if it was true, then that's saying something. Oh, and he must have been pretty wise as well - I know being wise and being an intellectual super power are 2 different things but, meh, he must have been a smart cookie.

No flaming please.

I certainly agree that Minato was an excellent Ninja, but i wouldn't consider him a genius in the intelectual sense. Personally i think Shikamaru has the greatest potencial for raw intelligence.

Minato is overrated, and you suck. As for Jiraiya, he's a knuckle-head, it's like a retard exclaiming said person is a genius. What value does it hold?

Yeah that's why jiraiya is called one of the "genius sannin" :sy:
anyway that scan had nothing to do with itachi anyway, it was simply saying minato was a once in a decade genius. I believe the same thing was said about orochimaru.

As for who i think are the greatest genius's....in terms of strategizing Itachi, shikaku, and shikamaru are pretty much the best I've seen. Kakashi is up there as well. What he doesnt have in raw power me makes up for in wits.

I feel the reason why a lot of people are going to say itachi isnt that smart is because he has so many OP jutsu, but don't be fooled, in recent chapters we've seen just how smart he can be.

The sheer amount of jutsu mastered and knowledge accumulated would have me say orochimaru is also incredibly gifted. I can't really pick one because they are all gifted in different ways.

Orochimaru. Most S-Rank jutsus without having a Bloodline Limit. Will break Reaper Death Seal. Has trolled every Uchiha and continues to affect the story and get more screen time than anyone on that poll listing.

If this thread is about who is the smartest then the poll makes me very sad about the current state of Narutobase

- cleary and without a doubt Shikaku is the smartest person seen so far within the narutoverse

Shikaku.

Followed by Minato then Shikamaru then Tobirama then Orochimaru then Kabuto then Kakashi then Tobi then Danzo.... then Itachi.

If you switch Itachi and Danzo then I agree.
