From a young age, SASUKE has repeatedly shown keen instincts and quick decision-making, causing many to consider him a genius. Able to easily learn various advanced techniques or utilise basic ones for crafty manoeuvres, Sasuke already became a stand-out before graduating the Academy. He is a proficient strategist, observing his opponent's skills and deducing their workings with ease and accuracy while remaining calm and composed. He then chooses the most effective means and ninjutsu to counter them. Sasuke is also a very capable leader, able to form a team from specific ninja after scouting them out and quickly command their respect and cooperation. His intelligence also allowed him to develop many powerful techniques on his own, all based on the one technique his teacher taught him. From the Chidori, Sasuke mastered the principles of Lightning Release, and created many innovative techniques that are derived from it. Orochimaru said once: ''When I'm looking at this child the fact that I used to be called a genius looks pitiful...'' ( ) Just remember how he defeated Danzo!!! Even Kakashi was shocked!

Asuma administered an IQ test disguised as a game to SHIKAMARU, which revealed that Shikamaru's intelligence was beyond that of a normal genius, with an IQ of over 200 which is regarded as immeasurable intelligence. His intelligence has earned praise from the likes of Kakashi Hatake, who is also considered a genius, and Tobi, who considers him a regrettable to be an opponent. In the anime, Sakura Haruno β€” who is also noted for her intelligence β€” once stated that Shikamaru was the smartest person in the Land of Fire. Shikamaru is very resourceful, able to use the most random of tools to his advantage. His analysis doubles as a way for him to avoid a fight, or at least minimise injuries for himself or his allies. Because of his intelligence, Asuma believes that Shikamaru could become Hokage if he weren't so lazy. Just remember how he defeated Hidan!!!

Shikamaru obviously.

Sasuke was an idiot thinking he could fight Bee

Shikamaru but Sasuke is good at thinking on the spot while Shikamaru has to do some sort of meditate for a short time during battle.

Well in my opinion both are smart in their own right. For example, for Sasuke to create Kirin is amazing and Shikamaru being able to beat an akatsuki member is impressive by itself

Shikamaru is still smarter.. infact he probably could have coached Sasuke through that fight..
Sasuke doesn't need any of shikamaru's help though. Shikamaru would have lost to Danzo though.

Shikamaru could have come up with 20 scenarios on how to beat Danzo , but he never would have won.
Sasuke came up with possibly 3 on figuring out Danzo's secret, but he still won..
Shikamaru is still smarter. They simply have different power & jutsu.

Shikamaru; he is almost excellent at thinking further and adapting the strategy to the situation; not to mention his techniques are not even that much of offense type.

ok here is my input.

which is non biased unlike half the thread.


as far as battle smarts.

sasuke wins imo because he can think faster than shikmaru on the spot while being attacked.

Shikmaru dam near needs to stand in one spot and take a break to pull out his elaberate plan.


But if your going by long term smarts, like planning war tactis

Shikamaru wins.

Well to be honest, both are smart.... Shikamaru need to take his time to figure out their weakness and strategy shit.

But Sasuke can figure out his opponent's weak spot and strike back immediately without taking a single break.

However, if you you're talking about who's smarter, then it depends on what kind of battle and place and opponent you facing.

Different kinds of genius: Sasuke is think-on-your-feet smart, Shika is unbeatable in devising strategy, which by nature takes more time.
