Naruto is not stupid, he can think intelegently quite well

[Sennin of Logic]

A lot of people still think that Naruto's stupid despite the obvious evidence the manga has constantly given us. Naruto almost never has stupid moments anymore. When everything lies on his shoulders, he can be a genious. Here's my examples of Naruto's intelligence.

Here he strategically analyzed Kakazu's attacks and later outwitted him. Need I remind you that Kakazu has a huge amount of experience.

He completely outwitted Pain here and yet again, thought tactically.

Here, he figured out the weakness of the 3rd raikage was despite the fact that he was somewhat misled by the 8 tails' response. He pieced together what happened in the past. That would require a good deal of intelligence.

And finally, there's the current chapter. Naruto specifically figured out that Obito was not under Madara's control simply because Obito's hand signs were different from Nagato's. It wasn't simply sensing since he already warned Sasuke not to go near him.

Over all, Naruto's intelligence is extremely underrated by some people in the base. Naruto's no longer an idiot. He's quite intelligent now. As for the Nagato fight, he was pancaking.

[Atalaya]

[LORD TAPATIO]

[Psychox]

sry, but i disagree.
naruto may not be a total retard, but there are moments when i have to facepalm myself.
anyone remember narutos rasengan getting absorbed by nagatos gakido? that's one of those moments.
naruto is nothing compared to the smartest people in narutoverse.

The last few chapters have Naruto understanding and performing very impressively. Not being rash in any way, and very much focusing on the task at hand.

Even though he had more knowledge than others, he still used it incredibly well. I'm not saying he's a genius, but he's definitely developing his battle IQ.

The stupid shit in the edo nagato fight was so obviously Kishi's horrible attempt at comedic relief.

naruto never was really stupid, just some childish and immature and naruto intelligence already equals some jounin and kages.

I already addressed that, so yeah, you didn't read the OP did you? That was only one occasion. Since then, he hasn't made a goof up like that. Besides, the times Naruto has shown intelligence in part 2 far outweighs the times he's shown stupidity.

I knew someone was going to post this. You find one negative thing and think it automatically negates every positive.

 

[Forbidden Twilight]

You're right, his intelligence is underrated. He is maturing more and more, shown by the evidence of him nearly soloing the zetsu army.

It baffles me how people think that's how it works.

Naruto's positive intelligent moments far outweigh that one screw up on Kishi's part.

 

[saw2097]

Naruto is definitely not stupid, just a little slow on the uptake.

 

[EliteRamenNinja]

Agreed. Naruto was ALWAYS smart in battle.

Agreed. Naruto was ALWAYS smart in battle.
