If you want to believe that naruto is no dumb and retarded, well then you have been blinding yourself all this years.. that is what naruto is but it seems you want him to be someone that he is not.Albert Einstein gives a **** who is smart or not.
actually... he hasn't to know the definition of smartness, because only dumb people can value it.
Einstein was the smartest man so that means in his prime was nobody smarter than him.
Why does he have to think about that and everybody values it in a different way?
We can say:When A says to B "he is smart", then that means A is smart as B or it means B is smarter than A.
So I conclude that every itachi fanboy is an idiot!
Naruto will always look dumb against the smart one because naruto is dumb.
It seems that you are an itachi-hater. you coulndt keep yourself togather..
