How is itachi a genius.
He made poor life decisions and he hasn't done anything that would mark him a true genius like let's say orochimaru and minato.
He hasnt created any jutsu. I give him points for unlocking susanoo
He wasn't the first to get ms. He actually is second to last.
And all his plans for sasukes future failed greatly. He created a monster and Put the shinobi world and konoha in jeopardy.
Why would a genius fill his little brothers life with hatred and force him to lean towards revenge.
To be honest he is no genius.
But he is one of the most blessed shinobi to ever live. He was born with unbelievable talent. And is a sharingan master. Just not a genius.

NOW...let the flaming begin. Give me your best shot :D


for one he filled his little brother with revenge because he knows his brother is an avenger. by making him one it would make him stronger. and in the end help him unlock his ms. not only that but what he really was planning for was for sasuke to return to the village a hero after killing itachi. he was sick yet he tried his best to do what's better for his little brother.

1) Poor life decisions??? Like? He was basically forced to kill his clan knowing if he didn't kill his brother Madara would come for him one day or Orochimaru.
2)He didn't create any jutsu but found the Yata Mirror and Sword of Totsuka. He also managed to use his own chakra twice after death similar to Minato and trigger i)Amaretasu at Madara from Sasuke ii)Stop Amaretasu from himself
3)OMFG OF COURSE HE IS SECOND TO LAST. THE CLAN WAS WIPED OUT SASUKE LAST REMAINING SURVIVOR ITACHI....WAS SECOND LAST(not including madara as obv he discovered it 1st)
4)Ok so how does that not make him a genius. He can't CONTROL Sasuke. In fact he prepared for Sasuke turning evil anyway by giving Naruto an ability to help him defeat Sasuke.
5)Actually that'd be Orochimaru that done that. Or if you wanna get technical: Hiruzen, Danzou & 2 Elders created the monster that is Sasuke.
6)Itachi knew if Sasuke was aiming to be as powerful if not more so than Itachi then he would be safe, in the sense he could defend himself, he also knew one day he would want to restore the clans image and try to rebuild. Sasuke killing him = Sasuke hero of Konoha and biggest mistake of the uchiha replaced by biggest success.

Someit like that anyway

Thank you. You said everything I was tryna say but better lol
So halfway through the thread you admit he IS a genius....nice job idiot. Who ever said Itachi was a genius in every aspect.

Yet you have Orochimaru whom planned to steal Itachis eyes failed
Planned to over take the leafe village failed
Planned to get Tsunade to cure his arms failed
Planned to take Sasukes body failed
Trained Sasuke - Biggest failure
Putting curse mark on Sasuke = death by Itachi later on

You also had Madara in your list of geniuses...do I really need to point out HIS mistakes. His plans might be working now...but you know having a couple of decades to plan shit makes it easier I guess.

Omg you still don't get it. I admitted that itachi was one of the strongest and most talented ninja in the series. But his life decision making is what seperates him from the genius category. Read it again. HIS DESCISION MAKING is terrible. Nothing he did did anything good for the future. I'm not just talking about the massacre. I'm talking about everything to sasuke to koto and naruto. Your praise him for what he did with shisuis eye and he admitted that his plan with it failed. Just like all his other plans.
Its not about the plans failing. It's having the foresight to implement such plans whether they are successful or not is not within Itachis control

So your saying it takes a lot of intelligence to come up with 2 major plans that fail greatly. It amazes me on how much you back him up. It also amazes me on how he was "surprised" that sasuke didn't return to konoha. He filled sasukes heart with hatred and he expected sasuke to just turn back into a good guy after his death. That isn't smart. I don't care what excuse you give him. There is no good guy with a heart filled with hate. The "smart" thing for itachi to do is to have killed sasuke. He took a risk and he failed. Now his brother is trying to destroy the village he protected because of his little plan. That my friend is not genius. And there are other ways he could have used shisui eye. Please stop making excuses for his failure.
He wouldn't have been suprised but shocked. Why would he expect Sasuke to return but give Naruto a way to fight him? Sasuke probably would have returned had Madara not interfered.

Listen to what your saying. So you rather kill your family with your own hands than to let them die in battle. He didn't even try to talk the clan out of their plan. If he was such a genius then why not go attack the man that cause it all Madara. Since he knew madara was behind everything. How about be noble and at least try to take another route.
He had no choice but to kill his clan.

Option A
Don't kill clan they fight the leaf and kill many ninjas. But eventually lose. But in saying that nobody wins here due to deaths on both sides. Uchiha are branded traitorous scum for the rest of Sasukes and Itachis(he prob wouldn't fight) life. Remember the Clan had been planning this as far back as the Kyuubi attack. You think they can be swayed not to?

Option B
Kill Clan. They don't lose their reputation and Sasuke can live his life as an Uchiha with respect grow strong kill itachi become a hero restore the clan.

Option C(the "genius" option)
Somehow get shisuis eye - manage to Gen every Uchiha to never revolt again...hmmm but wont the Gen run out...ok ok nevermind.
Ok how about...talk to his Dad....nah wouldn't work from the way the Manga was going Itachi and his Dad weren't having the best of relationships as Itachi knew about the coup probably ALREADY tried to talk him out of it was asked to spy by both sides but saw no option but to tell the elders.

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
totally agree..... \m/

Oro a genius? He was after a Sharingan his whole life, but failed and got sealed away from no one else but Itachi.

Itachi has had his failures and wrong decision making, but that doesn't strip the word genius from you. Even Einstein has had his failure so will you not consider him a genius? Itachi hope like Minato still lay in Naruto. At the end even if Sasuke fights a long side Konoho helps them get rid of the 10 tails, Tobi than what? What Itachi wanted from Sasuke has came true. Sasuke a long with Naruto will be a hero dead or a live at the end and the Uchiha name will rise.
This is probably my first post on this website. How can u compare some naruto character to einstein WOW really u comparing one of the greatest physician that has ever lived to some dumbass like itachi why I call him a dumbass cause he let his gay lil brother to live
Have some respect for science and get a job or something

WELL ABOUT iTACHI CHOISES HE WAS TOO YOUNG WHEN HE DECIDED TO KILL HIS ENTIRE CLAN THAT MEANS HE HAD NO ENOUGH EXPERIENCE AND HE DONE ONLY WHAT THE ELDERS TOLD HIM IT'S THE TIGHT THING TO DO AND ABOUT SASUKE HE IS A HUMAN HE DID WHAT HE HOPES IT'S THE RIGHT THING FOR HIM , AND I WONDER WHAT WOULD HE DO IF HE LIVED IN A MORE PEACEFUL PLACE AND TIME BECAUSE NO ONE HAD BEEN ABLE TO DO WHAT HE ACHIEVED IN HIS VERY SHORT LIFE BECAUSE ALL THE OTHER GREAT SHINOBI MADE THEIR BIG ACHIVEMENTS WHEN THEY BECOME OLD AND GET ENOUGH EXPERIENCE

i wouldnt call that genius. thats deception.
the ability to deceive an entire clan of people as well as high jonin-kage level ninja about your lifes true purpose isnt smart? itachi had everyone fooled. kakashi and the others were dumbfounded when madara told them about itachis past. kakashi wouldnt even believe it himself.
