orochimaru as smart as shikamaru

[Awesome Face]

right now imma sound like a total orochimaru fanboy

orochimaru managed to decipher uchiha ROCK when he had no sharingan or rinnegan

orochimaru managed to reincarnate his soul

Etc.

i think orochimaru is as smart as shikamaru

 

[zombiejesus]

maybe if he is really tobi like i suggested earlier today he is. but i got hated on for saying that

Oro is smart in a different way than Shikamaru.

Shikamaru is a genius in battle strategy/deceiving/manipulation ways.
Oro is more of the standard genius, good at science and creation.

Men that sounds wrong.
He IS smarter than him.
But he was obsess with knowledge.

Orochimaru spent years upon years upon years trying to decipher those things, and to perfect his Impure World Resurrection.
Shikamaru is a tactician, not a ****ing Archaeologist studying remnants of ancient clan idols

Shikamaru is a genius in battle strategy/deceiving/manipulation ways.

I don't see that happening.
Shikamaru is smart and always try to find the weakness of the opponent but Orochimaru is in another level and much deceiving that Shikamaru.
He wont have a chance against him.
Hey.. and I like Shikamaru a lot.
