Where is Kakuzu the immortal? The man who lived to be ~90 yrs old, the man with yrs of experience.
-He should be on this list.

PS. I can't be the only one who thinks Shikamaru shouldn't be that high...not yet at least, exp has to count to something and he doesn't have enough. Also Naruto should be higher since the Kyubi's knowledge is his knowledge.

Shikamru out does his own father for the most part at such a young age imo he deserves to be that high. BTW you can't expect me to remember each character. lol

It really shouldn't be split like that. The intelligence of certain characters vary and is applied in to different areas.

Example: Orochimaru is a scientist. He's intelligent because of all the tests he's done and his VAST knowledge.

Whereas people like Minato, Itachi, Naruto, Sasuke all excel in battle by applying intel to gain the upper hand in a fight. Itachi and Minato more so as they are the best analyzers in the manga.

Then there is also the "planners" like Madara, Obito, Hashirama etc. They plan ahead and execute their plans gradually (EoTM plan, Hashirama and Madara's plan for the village system...etc.)

I think there are far too many variables to categorize the respective intelligence of each character.

On a second thought, I agree wholeheartedly with the post above. And I think the experience factor should certainly be taken into consideration here as should the other things mentioned above.

I firmly believe that Orochimaru is more "intelligent" than Obito. Orochimaru runs multiple laboratories and is constantly researching and developing jutsu. He is a combat expert as well as a master mentor. Obito...? Besides knowing how to transplant eyes, I am not sure why one would consider him "intelligent". He is not a master plotter since he pretty much is riding the wave Madara left behind.

Idk maybe I am missing a key point here but I highly doubt it ;p

Something about Naruto being above "rest of K11" doesn't sit right. Naruto has combat smarts, but you have to fish for the rest of him.
disagree. naruto grow and mature and naruto sucks only in booksmart.... also naruto intelligence already equals neji

Kakashi and Tobirama need to be higher. Tobirama > Hashi in intelligence. Kakashi = Itachi in intelligence. Sasori = Itachi also.
