Yes, this is probably the best answer.
Itachi is intelligent in finding weak points in pple, can plan strategies on the spot. Shikamaru is best in planning before the battle starts or when given time to plan.
Overall, itachi has better but if he had only shadow sewing like shikamaru I don't know if he will be as good as shikamaru.

exactly, Itachi has more knowledge/wisdom as he hasnt been stuck in one village and have been exposed and able to explored more than shikamaru. Another thing shikamaru only knows shadow possession and probably have only studied his own art, just as Itachi knows his clans history probably better than anyone, but also has great intel on other abilites(jutsu). Therefore, one has to plan accorfing to what they're capable of doing.

People forget, Shikamaru has take the one completely unkillable person in the narutoverse, Hidan, out of the picture. Go back and re-read that fight and you begin to see Shikamaru's level of intelligence and planning. The ability to predict a persons actions off of simple observation is really quite amazing.

Yes exactly. Everyone plans according to his own skill. Not fair on shikamaru :shrug:

You're a filthy fanboy. Itachi destroying CT is one. His strategy with the clones against Kurenai, Asuma and Kakashi is one. I could list more but I don't like wasting my time with fanboys.

itachi destroying ct.. interesting.. alone he would have been crushed like an ant he was lucky that he had 8 and 9 tails with him to blast some shit up. 'sniff sniff' *smelling bigtime fanboys* U_U shikamaru is true genius for sure and hes dad lol. no need to use special eyes just brains.

Top 5 imo
1) Shikaku
2) Itachi
3) Minato OKAY before you eat me alive, minato developed a bijuu bomb, he manipulated time and space with a formula, he analyzed tobi's abilities and formulated an identity guess in just moments, He may be just as good as a strategist as shikamaru but his knowledge and analyzing seems faster. Shikamaru can come up with more in depth strategies but minato comes up with things faster from what we have seen. Also the creation of his jutsu's are really hyped and you rarely see anything like it
4) Shikamaru
5) Kabuto

I would say Tobi is a close 5th
7) Orochimaru
8)Jiraiya
after this.. Not sure i care lol.

orochimaru

That would be my first one out of the hat. But then I remembered how surprised Oro was when he realized Itachi had the Totsuka Blade all along..
And from all his failures that was the single one he could have avoided. If you take Shikamaru or Shikaku they haven't done a single error on analyzing their foes.

On another note one should consider Jiraya as well, how fast he was to spot out the presence of Itachi and Kisame on the hot springs and how little time he needed to figure out Pains secret.

... Wait, Shikaku nara is smarter than shikimaru last time i checked.. Also, I think Jiraiya may be smarter than kakashi.. he did figure out Pain in 1 fight. That is just speculation on the second part.

I actually think that's quite accurate. In your opinion, who is the most intelligent overall, philosophically it's Itachi, tactically it's Shikaku/Shikamaru. They both excel in their own right. Who wins overall though? :shrug:
