How is itachi uchiha a genius

[kobi sugoichi kempachi]

I hate flamers and fanboys too bro My only loyalty is to Da Toads

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.

What Itachi did for Konoha is Somthing most pple dont have. Loyalty
U dont have to be a genius to Have it. U just need guts thats all so spot being sarcastic Pimp.U_U

Whoever is saying Itachi is not a genius , just hates Itachi or is a Nut brain , because if you dont remember he said he found the weakness of edo tensei , and yes he ound out many techs like amatherasu , tsukiyomi etc , and being a skilled person in his jutsu's he is also very intelligent in battle tactics , so i am saying to mention a person who is more intelligent than itachi in naruto shippuden.

I though I was the only one to feel that way

I agree with you.

im just saying all genius have failed somewhere in there life noone perfect and the 4th didnt plan on dying on his son birthday to seal away some of the 9tails chakra im sure it never crossed his mind to put his son through being a jinjuriki and all the negativity they recivce and knowing not only the rouge ninja but other nation will be hunting him down for there own plots putting naruto in really great danger that was genius!!!and shikamaru couldnt think his way out of asuma being killed and his father i have yet to see them beat anyone on itachi level with there high intellect so smart why didnt they infiltrate the group they had no real ideal about intil itachi showed up with kisame and was able to avoid capture after a short confrontation and oro was a genius shinobi but made alot of poor choice in his life and madara a master mind!? alright master mind a plan thats seem to have fail a few times for 80 years or more well i guess try try try again im saying most of these people have flaws to so how are they any different thats all your contradicting here Anbu Intel!!!!

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

He can put others under genjutsu with just one of any of his fingers. He's one of 4 Uchicha known to have the MS. He was one of two ninja that took out the strongest clan. Itachi made Orochimaru run away in terror. Have you watched any of Itachi's fights? Most of them stop before they start because his genjutsu is so powerful.

 

[Anbu Shinobi]

whos a genuis to me? hmmm
1. shikamaru a shinobi thats never limited to choices. he genius is one that can create alternative choices. someone i believe that if he was itachi's place at the time of the massacre the out come would have been different. because he always finds another way. and i assume the same with his father.

2. minato. need i say more? this man planned as far as 16 years ahead in a matter of seconds. not to mention he was in the middle of a battle. and his planned worked out beautifully and he didnt leave a note telling his son to hate madara and use revenge towards madara to become strong. gave him the kyuubi and hate faith that he would master it. something itachi could have done with itachi. had faith that sasuke would become strong on his own and not baby him.

3. orochimaru a man that created countless forbidden jutsu. found a way to merge senju and uchiha blood. found a way to make himself immortal. strong enough to the point where he could not be killed but had to be seal(it is the only way to defeat him).

4. a master mind madara. first to unlock ms and ems. after leaving konoha planned a 100 years ahead. he knew he needed hashirama cells to expand his life. kept himself hidden for years. fooled the entire konoha village except for minato. planned for his clan to be demolished(accomplished). you say itachi was a genius he was fooled by madara. he didnt think madara knew everything about him(he did). a lot of things are still unclear about madara because it is unknown if some of the things he say are true.

i would put hiruzen in this group but like itachi he made poor life choices so like itachi he is just one of the most talented shinobi to ever live. am i wrong?

and to be honest you dont have to count number 1 3 and 4 as genius but you have to say that minato is above genius. that man from what weve seen of him has never made a mistake. everything he planned for happen according to plan. every last detail. like jman said he never did anything without a reason. so its safe to say that minato is one of if not the only genius in the series.

^up post^ sorry forgot post 147

He didnt pan it but When the decision presented it self, He had no hesentation. He did all tha in a matter of minuts and planed out the savior of the future to His Son so he did what he did for that reason. He figued out who Tobi was and what his intentions were from the begining.

Dude this kid was the most powerful in his clan at age of 13, and plans things before anyone, look at what kabuto and Madara said! Itachi can plan ahead like no other and he also figured out how to end CT, etc. Itachi was anbu captain at age 13 and had the sense to actually kill his own clan and handle the emotions and still flee acting very mature. Dude if I was 13 I wud of told the elders, "hell no you old dumb a$$es" or started crying if my family died. U can easily see Itachi had as much sense as an adult at the age of like 14 or 15 when he killed the clan, and also figured out Madara was still alive. He was forced to kill the clan btw, from the elders. His plan was still to make peace in the village and make his brother a hero, which would of worked out too if it wasn't for Madara. Itachi is a PURE genius. You cannot deny this sorry.

 

[MinatoFLASH]

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

Yes that and also his analyzing skills are also excellent. He is a genius, shika may be smarter but Itachi is around there himself.

It's like I said, given all Itachi accomplished before and after his death, it would've been simpler if he'd killed half of the akasuki and died or regrouped with the Leaf, instead of out getting Bijuu for Madara, and turning his brother psycho, considering Itachi's strength, the route he took on things makes no since, he'dve done loads more for the village by taking out Nagato and a few other Akatsuki, everything he did was a waste of time, that's my opinion on things

1.- He couldnt kill half of Akatsuki by himself at the same time, thats just stupid, plus the members moved in groups of 2, and before any fight ended, Akatsuki back up would arrive, Nagato and company.
2.- Sasuke was his only mistake, just because he loved him, stated by Danzo, Itachi's only mistake. Dont forget Itachi was 13 when he made the decision, at 13 you were still playing your gameboy or w/e.
3.- If any of you readers, atleast smart or more mature readers think Itachi Uchiha isnt suppose to be a genius, you fail sorry.
4.- He was the best Uchiha at 13...
5.- He unlocked MS at 12...
6.- He saved Konoha and a Ninja war at 13, plus the only guy that could mess his plans would be Madara/Tobi, how old, mysterious and experienced he is? okay, Itachi is like a child to him and yet never cease to amaze him.

Im tired of this kind of threads, just because theres a lot of people that think Itachi is overrated and have a lot of fans doesnt mean he is not intended to be one of the greatest Naruto characters, why you people think Kishimoto brought him back?

if you were order to spy on the akatsuki why would you blow your cover by killing fellow members then say you do kill some then return to the leaf where you are like hated for killing everone you know remember its still a secret to most of the leaf that it was his mission to kill them and if it get out how many other clan might feel that there next creatng civil unrest and sparking a great ninja war most of the villager dont know anything about why he did it like haku said this is what it means to be a ninja i think people dont understand what ninja really are Anbu Intel!!!!!

Whatever, he didn't do it cuz it's all for story but when you look at all their abilities on paper, Itachi would've easily took on whoever came for him, Tsukiyomi pretty much nullifies anyone who isn't an Uchiha, and I'm still not convinced that he took the best route, it's just Kishi giving his story substance, but hey, no need to get but hurt

Okay kid first of all, you know what are the 3 possible options to break genjutsu?, like i said Akatsuki moved in groups of 2, genjutsu wont work.

Second he was a teenager the best route is for experienced people my man, he made a mistake because he was still young and loved his brother.

Im not butt hurt, just dissapointed in your lack of understanding in the choices of this character in particular.

Itachi's Tsukiyomi can't be beaten by regular means, I mean it kills you, and even if it doesn't, you're still no longer in fighting condition, and secondly, I don't care what you say, if he'dve killed Nagato and all the weakling akatsuki he'dve done WAY more than what he's currently accomplished, I understand what you're saying, but it doesn't make his circumstances seem any less stupid than what they do right now

 

[Ariow]

I guess it's kinda true when you look at it that way, he was not a genius when it comes to his plan to save Sasuke, but he was able to temporarily save the leaf village from an internal war destroying it which would have had dire consequences for the entire ninja world tearing it apart leaving it wide open for Tobi/Madara's control. See if you really think about it he was a genius, but even a genius can't be correct all the time right? Also I believe he was a genius of in battle conditions all you have to do is look at his groups fight with Nagato to see that, he was able to see through jutsu and find a weakness quickly. One more thing that made him a genius was his self control and sacrifice not just anyone could take that much mental strain and stay sane not to mention be content in his moment of death. Itachi is not as perfect as many lead him on to be which lowers his actual value as a ninja many fans wont even give you an answer to your question but I hope you can see why I admire him after this and give a little respect to his true worth.
