This guy perfectly fooled everyone into thinking he was Uchiha Madara...
Instigated the 4th Shinobi war.
Manipulated the likes of Nagato and countless other powerful ninja into his goal of making the Juubi complete.
Has intricate knowledge of Shinobi history and knows about many different types of ninjutsu (Aburame Shikuro?)
Manipulated Sasuke for his own ends (still not completely sure what Obito has in store for him).
Although losing his fight against Minato, was able to infiltrate Konoha without detection, take control of the Kyuubi, and go somewhat toe-to-toe with him in a few short years. Basically going from fodder to Kage level in the span of about two-three years.

Pfft, had obito not been such a moral*** , and didn't push kakashi out the way from the boulder.. he'd have lived, have both eyes, unlocked mangekyou witnessing kakashi die.. and be the most op ninja in existence tbh... longrange kamui and short range... I Do not see how he loses

At that moment he'd of become a feared uchiha elite

But as always plot ruins everything, he would have probably led team 7.

Madara persona wasn't hard to fool people with due to him having a mask and a sharingan, not to mention kamui making him seem invincible to others.

Well, yes, but I don't see how that makes him a genius

If you try and manipulate a kid who's life is already screwed up as is it shouldn't be hard to pull him to the dark side...heck, Madara did it with Obito.

His knowledge of shinobi hystory and ninjutsu comes from whom again?

As I said in my 3rd sentence, Sasuke's life was already screwed up. Wasn't too hard to manipulate him.

I'll give you the Konoha invasion, but you can't give him much credit for the way he did it, since he took an infant hostage and kidnapped a woman who had just given birth. You made good points, but sadly they don't prove Obito as a genius.

A genius is someone who showed talent since the very beginning. Shikamaru, Itachi, Orochimaru, Neji and Minato have been called a genius, and I don't see Obito belonging in that category.

But this manga has shown a few times that being a genius is not everything. Naruto and Obito were considered to be failures, but what makes them extraordinary is that they become extremely determined once they gain a goal. The combination of hard work and the ability to learn and progress very easily is what makes them talented, and why they're able to catch up and surpass those who are called geniuses.

The big difference is that they both had their own advantage. Naruto has the chakra of a bijuu and is still a bit of a happy dumbass, while Obito had Madara as a sensei and abandoned his idiot personality for a more calculated one.

No he's not a genius, he's a hard working never give up type like naruto but followed the path of darkness.

Obito is the one super villain that wasn't a genius from the start but with hardwork managed to get to were he is today.

Its the same with nartuo and him being a hero that was not a genius from the start but with hardwork, will to protect friends... blah blah blah.

The two characters are parallel, im surprised people can't see this from them self

hmmm .... interesting question, maybe, but he is more like someone with a LOT of knowledge and enhancements plus a strong crazy motive.
