The reason Naruto is not considered a genius on the level of those others is because he never did anything on his own. Minato researched and studied Kushina's bijuu dama and then attempted and successfully managed to create a training program that enables you to replicate it with human chakra, Naruto didn't do the study and research part and he didn't have to think up a training program that enables you to learn rasengan, he just got everything on the platter, that's the ONLY reason he took less time than Minato, coz he only had to do the easy part. Even with rasenshuriken, Naruto would never have come up with rasengan if he hadn't been told that MINATO (his idea in the first place) wanted to fuse an element to the jutsu, again this is something he had to be told by Kakashi, and Kakashi only knew coz Minato. Naruto is only riding on other people's coattails, even mastering the kyubi's power is something that his parents set up, the new seal that Minato created specifically for him, the seperation of Kyubi into two halves to make it easier to control, sealing Kushina into the seal so that she can give him aid in mastering the kyubi (love and chakra chains to hold down kyubi for him). Seriously this shouldn't even be debateable. Neji mastered hyuga clan techniques on his own too, techniques that were not accessible to the branch family but he recreated and mastered them by just observing. There is no comparison between Madara and Naruto, there is no way Naruto could have managed even half the feats Madara achieved without being spoon feeded and handed free power-ups. Madara worked for everything he had and did alot of research (History of the shinobi world, medical/scientific knowledge for dna and body part tansplants, ie Obito made out of half zetsu) and experimentation (Hashirama cells, zetsu, gedo mazou) to get what he managed in the end. Itachi, well that one is debateable, as far as we are aware Itachi never created any single jutsu, well I guess except for Amateresu transcription seal, but he was more of a genius in terms of psychology and battle strategy, I guess Naruto matches him with talk no jutsu and his unpredictable battle strategies .(I know it sounds stupid but fact of the matter is Naruto has manipulated everyone, Itachi included, to side with him through talk no jutsu)
Notice the bolded part. They all had to observe someone in order to create their own or to master something. They all observed while they were being taught. Naruto did the same thing. He was given a theory which he used in practical matter, just like every other Genius.
