So Who Isn't a Genius in Naruto

[Lentz]

Haven't you realized it yet? Everyone is a genius in Naruto.

 

[King Of Pop]

sasuke was a genius now he's not (please don't start hating on this, it's just my opinion)

hes still a genius. it doesnt matter if hes done some crazy things in the manga. in his last major battle with intent to kill( excluding the kabuto battle) against danzo he still showed hes intelligence being able to cleverly trick danzo with genjutsu. cant take the genius away from him.

Being gifted and having intelligence are different. Gifted is innate, while intelligence results from ones environment

It's not really the point since you are wanting to know about geniuses and why it is said so often.

The intelligence results from studying and this is referring to those who are able to understand concepts quickly as well as those who have studied a specific area and have a wide range of expertise on the subject, or those who are knowledgable in general.

I have, just wanted others who didn't know this to know that

you are correct

The whole point of this topic is who isn't a Genius, I said Naruto. Don't know why we are carrying on the pointless discussion. Temari and her team also cut the Raikage, tho they didn't have a jutsu to make the Raikage hand hit him self, plus if they would've gotten close they easily would've been killed.

last word

they could've told Naruto what they figured out - couldnt they ? doesnt matter if they cant do anything about it




yeah /topic ..... too fking late

geniuses are people that excel in everything they do which is why people like Sasuke, Kakashi, and Itachi are called geniuses because everything they do they're a master at. Alsoo a genius is someone who learns things much faster than any other average shinobi that's one reason why Rock lee was called a genius by Kakashi, because he was able to almost master 5 gates ina short amount of time.

The point is being called a genius in Naruto doesn't reflects ones intelligence, but their ability in performing jutsu and at a certain pace. nB users throw the word genius as if ones intelligence is significantly greater than someone else's who wasn't called a genius.

Tenten

The only weapon specialist I've seen

 

[Vexorian]

You forget there are two kinds of elite, the hard-working types and the natural born geniuses.

Natural born: Sasuke, Minato, Itachi, Minato, Kakashi, neji

Hard working: Naruto, Lee, obito, nagato without the rinnegan he would be nothing plus it was not naturally his he had to suffer and work to become that good with it

Thats the thing though. Itachi wouldn't even be half of what he is without the Sharingan. All of his high-level techniques are SHARINGAN techniques. Same with Nagato, and Obito as well. Kakashi, on the other hand, has techniques that he created but would be incomplete without the Sharingan(i.e. Raikiri/Chidori) that are in his main arsenal. I don't consider the Byakugan amazingly op, so I won't include Neji in it.

Also, it appears that Shodaime Hokage was a weapon specialist, as I'm fairly sure he used Mokuton to toss weapons at his enemies.

That awkward moment when the commenter is the only person on the thread.

 

[Sycophants]

Kiba has nothing. Even TenTen has a specialty. :/

 

[asparticus]

genius is meant in different ways. genius in fighting, academic, analyzing, etc.

everybody is a genius in their own style.

Which is why comparing is pointless in most instances.

 

[Ahl Sing Ice]

Compared to the thousands of average no name ninja's, Most of the characters that get shine in Naruto are "Geniuses". Think about it...

 

[blazekev90]

Lol I think people misinterpreted the title of thread, I was sarcastically saying who isn't a genius dice so many characters have been called a genius in their own right. Also, I wanted to point of that rarely (if ever) has anyone been called a genius based of their intelligence, mostly regarding their feats. Therefore, I wanted to point out how it's pointless to throw out there who's been called a genius in the series as it pretty doesn't relate to how we interpret it in our threads.

Hope this cleared things up....-_- lol

Sakura.

The reason I believe this is the lack of personal growth. Still struggling with the same demons from her past. Sure she has medical support techniques but she cannot grow out of her shell and become something more. While everyone else is moving on she squats on the past.

Well you have three categories:

1)Those who are mentally gifted - these peoeple excel when it comes to cognitive ability like strategical/tactical planning along with knowledge in general

2)Those who are physically gifted - these people excel when it comes to physical strength, and stamina

3)and those who are both - these people tend to grasp things both physically and mentally much quicker than most and are able to utilize it in combat with great efficiency, though sometimes not as much as one who excels in one category.

Examples of people gifted in each category:

Physically: Naruto, Lee, Gai, Jiraiya, Nagato, Kisame

Mentally: Sakura, Shino, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Kabuto, Sasori, Shikamaru, Shikaku

Both: Minato, Itachi, Sasuke, Neji, Kakashi, Hiruzen, Madara

Shouldn't Tsunade also be in the both category since she is physically strong and has good stamina as well. Yet you put people like Kakashi, Itachi, Hiruzen who don't have that great of a stamina. Your list is kind of messed up. Also how is Nagato a physical genius when he is crippled? Where would you put the Sand Siblings? You should also place Kiba in the physical section as he is a genius when it comes to fang over fang and animal instincts. One last thing, Neji only has average intelligence, from data book not my personal opinion.

Well he was credited for being one of the top students in part one, which they advised her to consider genjutsu (I sure this wasn't my own personal dream).

Lol you got it all wrong. xd tsunade I can change to both, but the others would stay the same.

The physical area include those who are proficient in combat, which includes Itachi, Kakashi, and hiruzen are. Nagato happens to have tons of stamina, plus he had to work at those techniques originally in order to become proficient with them.

Temari - both. She is considered to be very smart and analytical while also being able to wield her large fan and fight against fairly strong opponents

Kankuro - mental. Because he relies on puppets, his physical ability leaves much to be desired, but he makes up for it by devising very clever plan to fool his opponent and using hidden traps to catch them off guard

Gaara - mental. While he does have lots of stamina, he doesn't use it to physically attack his opponents, relying more on the use of his sand to both attack, defend, and even maneuver him around the battlefield.

Kiba, while good in combat, is more of a sensor and relies more on his sensory ability combined with collaboration techniques with akamaru to be successful in combat.

Just because someone has "average" intellect doesn't mean that he isn't a genius. Actually, Neji is a very fast learner, able to recreate the main family's most powerful jutsus from observation alone. He is also very analytical, using his byakugan to the fullest to help him keep an eye on his opponent at all times while being able to come up with plans to counter his opponents abilities like he did with kidomaru and Kisame. He is very proficient in the gentle fist at a young as due to his natural talent, making him a taijutsu virtuoso and formidable in CQC.
