Naruto is a Genius shinobi

[6ari8]

I don't understand why so many people think that Naruto is not a talented ninja. Lets take a look at some of his feats:

1.He was able to get a good chakra control even though Kurama was interfering with that. Think of it as trying to draw a straight line while someone keeps pushing your hands Just remember what happened to Jiraiya when he was put in a similar situation by Tsunade. This was proved lately when he transferred chakra to the alliance.

2.He learned the rasengan in 1 month, using an ingenious method at that.

3.He created one of the most powerful jutsus (rasenshuriken) in an amazingly short time, something no one could ever do before.

4.He mastered the control of the kyuubi's chakra in a short time, something that many, many people failed at given much more time. AFAIK only three people could do this: The SO6P, Bee, and Naruto.

5.He probably is the most skilled in chakra control right now, as stated by the Kurama.


So, can anyone tell me why is he considered as if he wasn't a genius shinobi? I know that he may not learn some things fast, but he learns and does things that are probably impossible for others to do.

Who cares about Ninja Ranks..

Also, he managed to use his head enough to free the 4 Tails from Tobi.

Genius.....hell naw
Smart.....ish

He's not a genius, but he's come along way that's for sure!

Naruto is a genius in a different way.

Naruto has an emotional IQ of over 200, but his cognitive IQ is a little less than 100. This is why he is able to interpret many peoples' feelings right on the spot, yet takes much longer to develop his abilities individually than others.

Naruto has unbelievable skill and talent.

BUT his book smarts and listening ability leave much to be desired.

This isn't about ranks!

True.

Genius doesn't always mean having a substantial intellect in Narutoverse.

Kind of this. Naruto is not a genius, that is more of a way to describe Shikamaru. Naruto is a smart ninja though.

I can't believe there are people who think Naruto is not talented.
He is impulsive maybe sometimes but he is still a kid.

Because he's an idiot and he behaves immaturely. He has attained a great conceptual grasp of ninjutsu though, and seems to have that innovation gene, so he has used it to create various techniques. As far as learning things, he learned nothing in the manner that a genius would. He just worked harder than anyone, and then, when faced with a life or death situation, combined adrenaline/determination with plot protection to suddenly succeed with the technique that he supposedly had failed to master....
I would call his brand of genius the determined visionary

His Academy IQ doesn't tell the whole story. He was never actually brought up by parents, so with no influence he was bound to be "stupid" in the academy. If Minato/Kushina were alive, he probably would of been a genius.

But that isn't the point. Naruto is actually a battle genius. He is able to apply given intel and use it to his advantage (E.G Pein fight), use varied fighting methods to take out opponents or outwit him (Using a shadow clone as a FRS decoy to make preta absorb, thereby taking preta out of the fight) and simply, he feels at home when fighting. I consider him a battle/tactical genius.

Academically it's a whole different story

funny character=idiot? no

"Genius" means like Neji or Sasuke, who had KKG and actual abilities, which Naruto is not like.

He is a genius of hard work, like Rock Lee.
