Naruto has clearly been underestimated battlewise.i have noticed that any thread made about naruto is always obscured towards his intelligense.but lemme elaborate.
Naruto is an intelligent shinobi's worst nightmare,why?.
An intelligent shinobi plans ahead right?and theres no how the plan doesnt always have one or two loopholes.now naruto is someone that goes with the flow,he later adapts to the situation,and brings out successful plans with GUARANTEED success in the heat of the battle,see what i mean.NATURAL INSTINCT.Bookwise,naruto sucks,but dont underestimate his strategy and planning,atleast he was a prankster.getting by jounins is no small feat.he was a character that learns by doing,it doesnt make him dumb.
He mastered rasengan in a week,which took minato years to do.
He added an element to rasengan which minato couldnt achieve
He planned the kakuzu fight,using his clones and outsmarted him with share instinct.
He took out the vital part of pain with share battle smarts.
Decieved deva path,by throwing himself at him.
He escaped from 4 tails with pure battle smarts.
Decieved tobi,and freed the 4tails.freed the tailed beast too.
Worked with kakashi decisively in cracking obito's mask.
Harbores the smartest creature /being since rikoudu's era,due to how he outsmarted obito by giving kakashi chakra.kakashi even commented that kurama thinks on a war commander's level,and he is in naruto.
Naruto has always beaten those who are far smarter than him.Btw he stiil alive and well,so tell me if he's still dumb?

Nah, he's not stupid at all.

He could be considered above average intelligence as of now.

Naruto is an idiot....There is a difference

There are such things as Idiot-Geniuses

They can be insanely smart at something, but completely ignorant to another xd

He's a strategist, so he's not as dumb as one is inclined to think.

Why is this such a big subject? Naruto is not a book smart character, he does some dumb sh*t and charges straight in without thinking at times, however, Naruto because he doesn't over complicate stuff, managed to think of a peacful way to talk to Nagato. Naruto can come up with clever strategies in battle and out-smart the occasional experianced bad guy.

Naruto has a lot of his priorities right, he just never really grew up in the best learning enviroment to be "smart".

He learned the rasengan: MINATO CREATED IT
Naruto added an element because he has clones that excel work progress, Minato died before being able to add it
Kakuzu not knowing which clone was which was purely plot related.
He didn't outsmart Deva path, he just had no other options left but to throw himself
Kuramas brain is not Narutos brain

I'm sorry but actually list some good points if you wish to make a statement

*Cough cough* HATER *Cough cough*

Minato died before he could add an element? How do you know he didn't have plenty of years to try and fail to do that?
Kakazu not knowing which was a clone? Due to plot? Clearly you must still be in nappies if you blame something in a story due to plot..
Yea he didn't outsmart Deva but he did what he had to to defeat him.
No, Kuramas brain is not Narutos but Naruto would be a massive fool not to use his new BFFs adivse wouldn't he?
Naruto has shown excellent teamwork and understanding with Kakashi when they figured out a plan to get a hit on Obito together.

Come up with less BS counter points.

Naruto was the one who came up with the idea of using 3 clones instead of 1 to be able to form the new jutsu. The clones only helped him to grasp change in chakra nature. You may look at this as simple but in the Naruto universe no one could figure it out not even the 4th.
It doesn't matter if it was plot related Naruto outsmarted him end of story.
Yes he outsmarted him, Nagato did not expect it and was not prepared for the outcome.

Lmfao, all of my points were correct. Youre just butthurt about the fact that narutos intelligence is equivalent to the of a wall.

Please counter my points better next time, okay?

He clearly did counter your points.

Thats why it took a yr for kakashi,and jiraiya learned it after months huh?
Even jiraiya commented that it seemed impossible for minato adding ano element to rasengan.
Clones are part of his power,no plot shield.he outsmarted him,by qouting ino and chouji's words.
Kurama is inside naruto,ur point?
Ur so stupid its annoying.

I never said Naruto is any smarter than a wall, I just merely stated he is great at battles and can understand strategies...

Also, why would I be butthurt over a manga? Maybe thats you?

Deva said rasengan couldnt be thrown,but naruto proved him wrong,or decieved him.

Yeah Naruto is definetley strong, but mostly all of his fights were won with help when using strategy. The kid was going to tear off Kuramas seal and let lose the nine tails on the village just to take down the Deva path. We cool?

Well, come on to be fair he had slightly gone mad lol. I readily admit, fighting Pain, Tsunades slug was telling him the information that they had, but tbh Pain is nearly impossible to beat if its new to you.
