Rank these characters on battle smarts, so use feats strictly based on their combat and not other forms (Eg Itachi having wisdom of a hokage at 7 or whatever it was lmao)

Itachi, Minato, Shikamaru, Kakashi, Sasuke, Tobirama and Madara.

1. Shikamaru
2. Tobirama
And the rest are all tied... Since we are using actual battle smarts feats.

No way! Plot wise... The only two people that's smarter than Sasuke is shikamaru and Itachi.

you sure? kakashi fooled itachi with a clone and was +rep by choiji's father and team7. sasuke has quicker thinking than kakashi but he's not more clever. but then again, sasuke was impressive against deidara. idk

What are Itachi's feats in battle? I only recall the Chibaku Tensei one. The manga's become a real blur to me since I've been inactive and haven't debated in a while.

Orochimaru creating everlasting techniques isn't an indication of battle intelligence. That's just academic, showing how adept he is at science and whatnot. I'm referring to strategies and tactics in the middle of battle e.g all of Shikamaru's fights, Minato creating a plan to attack Madara, Itachi decoding CT etc..

I really don't know. Like I said, by this point the manga's one giant blur. I can't remember anything to be honest. From the top of my head I'm inclined to place Shikamaru at 1 and Kakashi and 2. From then onwards, I'm stumped.

Even still oral rebirth which he created basically completely negates any physical damage that isn't a tbb
How he has mastered Edo tensi
Taught and trained sasuke to what he is .. All of his battle prowess comes from oro at least hebi and bellow tbh sauce stop using his battle prowess after he got MS after that he just started attacking things till they fall... Amatratsu this Amaterasu that etc

Lies Sakura is vastly smarter than sasuke


Why she isn't on this list baffles me as she has the most intellect feats in the manga

Dude, that isn't battle intelligence, like I said. There's no strategy or battle savvy required to execute that. That's simply his knowledge in the scientific field. I'm talking about IN BATTLE wit, strategy and tactics. And no man, Sasuke's been hailed as a genius from early. Oro may have trained him, but his intelligence is all him.

Sauce was hailed a genius as was oro I don't see ur point ... If u make tech's for preparations while in battle to make sure you survive how is that not battle intelligence that's like saying in war if you build a trench before the war it's not war prowess because he didn't build it during the war...

again if u make preparations/jutsu's to turn tied in your favor in battle how is this not battle intelligence

the way itachi handled nagato and DSM kabuto's moves, then baited kabuto into his izanami set up and quickly figured out how to counter edo tensei control is pure battle smarts.
