Simple question ....remember current generation , what's your answer?

Mine:

1) Shikamaru
2) Sakura

Now I know what you're thinking:
"Sakura?

WHAT?"

Then you're probably going to say:
"Sakura ain't the smartest, cause of Sasuke!"

Hear me out now:

The girl is pretty much a genius
~Above average high scores in academy
~Able to answer all questions on the exam portion of the chunin exams, she was praised by Ibiki
~Booby trap knowledge
~Extensive knowledge of poisons
~Above Average analytical, observation, and evasion skills (she's a medical nin, need I say more? Look at how she dodged all those puppets fighting sasori)
~When the white zetsu infiltrated, she was able to determine that not only was the infiltrator not using a transformation technique, she was able to fool "neji" and incapacitate him. Then she extracted information out of the white zetsu pertaining to it's technique, and figure it out on her own based on prior knowledge

and why i think shikamaru is smart, well you already know that unless you are an idiot

Fair enough?
At least that's my reasoning. I'm open to rebuttals or what not.
But who're you're top 2 smartest?

I mean it all depends on what kind of intelligence...Shikamaru is in pretty much no matter what, but fight wise it is probably between Neji or Shino for the second spot. Academic wise I would agree with Sakura.

They're definitely the two smartest in general

But determining who is top depends on what your saying "Smart" is... Strategy/Tactility Shikamaru, Medicine Sakura, Problem Solving Shikamaru, Traps Sakura, Wits/Craftiness Toss up, Common Sense Toss up. In order to say who is "Smarter" you have to jumble all these together and even it out.

Honestly I think Shikamaru is the smarter of the two... it's his overall character concept, it's what Kishi intended him to be you know what I mean lots of characters you can phrase the general idea of who they are by how they were introduced and what they're best skills are and what their past is you know.

My smart list for the young Naruto generation: (IDK Where to place Naruto I mean he's always kinda been clumsy and unconventional but he's improved of late and I'm unsure.)
Shikamaru
Sakura
Neji
Sasuke
Shino
Sai
Hinata
Naruto - ???
Ino
Tenten
Kiba
Lee
Choji
