P.S Kishi did make naruto out to be an idiot. He still is. All the time you hear characters say "That one's not that smart is he". Just recently mizukage basically called naruto an idiot. Not my fault kishi labels him an idiot. Fanboy.
this been naruto clone... naruto called idiot because people understand him...ps. your kishi?

Power means over 90% percent of battle, intelligence only take up the rest of the 10% percent when the critical moment happens.

If you never needed power, then Shikamaru would beat Madara lol. For example, Goku can solo the entire Narutoverse alone without using a bit of brain, as all he needs to do is to blow up the entire planet :D

I do believe that Naruto's intelligence is underrated, although if you use the the basic principles of your thread and change the characters, intelligence would play a massive part.

Character with great intelligence & battle insight, can use even their weakest Jutsu's and make them effective. They can also make the opponents Jutsu's against them, and make it work for them.

Intelligent people such as Kakashi has great Analyst skills, which is a major advantage, because you are able to decipher your opponents weaknesses and strengths. You can also control the pace of the battle..

Of course it depends on the opponents, intelligence isn't going to help much against Naruto, because he has so much strength that intelligence won't necessary help you match him, unless you have at least some comparable strength.

Anyway, main point is..... Intelligence is essentially a major part of a battle, although i do agree with your premise as many people tent to rely on that when they are comparing opponents.

How can intelligence not play a factor!? How do you think Hashirama, Minato, Itachi, Sasuke, and even Madara were extremely powerful people: They are very smart and analytical people (obviously there are more).

Prime example: Nara Shikamaru

In his fights against Temari, Hidan and Tayuya...he was clearly outmatched combat wise so how did he survive?! Because he's extremely smart. It takes intelligence to both focus, plan, and analyze when in combat. If one doesn't hold any degree of intelligence, they will not be able to effectively use their strengths in ways to achieve victory. Nor would they be able to predict how someone will try to move in on your weakness.

But Shikamaru also shows the degree of proof to your argument.

He is not by far near the strongest shinobi to exist. Naruto, Kakashi, Neji, Lee, Madara, Sasuke and anyone you can fit in a top 30 list beat him solidly. However, Shikamaru is able to live combat with these people around because he was able to think.

For example: he lived through Hidan and Kakuzu while playing a significant role. He even managed to save Kakuzu. During the war he managed to catch Obito into a trap in which Obito was saddened that Shikamaru was a threat. Sending the Gedo Mazo to kill him.

Had he had the stamina/time, Shikamaru may have been able to use shadow stitching to hold Obito down....

Intelligence plays a key role in battles, but clearly there are other factors.

yeah he was smart, you see he did that with his shadow clones, hundreds of them vs Gaara w/ Kurama's chakra:)
Sasuke figured out Danzo's eye capabilities and beat him with them while using genjutsu and timing
and also sheer will power..

oh you mean in taht fight with danzo he had AFTER he had to be saved from the raikage and tsuchikage at the summit. Which he only was able to attack because HE WAS SAVED after getting pwned by Bee? I dont want to hear of sasukes intelligence when the characters entire motivation and way of thinking makes no sense

Stop dickriding

Naruto is still a dumbass
What has he done against obito? Better yet negato & itachi? He so clueless he thought itachi missed him with ameretsu

Honestly his greatest intelligence feat is turning preta path to stone

When doing a vs. thread intelligence is a key factors its what makes itachi one of the best its y minato would own naruto even tho naruto is vastly stronger
