Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up ^^

No problem! I don't know if it's the exact age, but Obito would have to be 4 years Kakashi's senior otherwise they wouldn't have been on the same Genin team if they didn't graduate at the same time. So I added 4 to Kakashi's part 2 age then did the maths.

We all knwo he's smart but I hate it when people he beats some certain characters jus because he's smart. Anyways, op don't go against the manga. It protrayed him as that smart guy and your examples are off

its relative, if you put someone along with guys like naruto and killer bee they would look bright, because they arent the smartest cookies
and again when you put itachi side by side the derp sasuke and compare, he looks smart

hell naruto looked smart compared to sasuke when he figured out the senjutsu weakness of obito while sasuke was like

Fail, sasuke has already put naruto in his place when they fought madara and naruto was taking orders. Sasuke has had people like madara praise his intelligence, none praised naruto. If you tried to degrade sasukes intelligence then you failed horribly. Besides itachi has had that smart in him even as a kid and not just because of what zetsu said.

Itachi's pretty much the smartest person in the series with Sasuke following him up and Kakashi following up Sasuke.

did you even read the part where i myself said naruto and killer bee arent the brightest cookies?

you are only shooting yourself in foot, because despite not being the top of the class naruto is still equal to sasuke in smarts

sasuke is about as smart as a dropout who failed three times and sometimes even slower than that dropout

He did plan for the event that Tobi would try and take Sasuke for his own uses and made steps that would try and prevent that instance post-mortem. He also managed to fool Akatsuki, and spied on them without being detected. He also managed to deduce ET's weakness and act accordingly. He was pretty smart if you ask me.

this is pretty flawed, the plan for Tobi failed, what intel was ever proven to get back from Itachi to village about the Akatsuki NONE. The information that they did attain came from J-man so as a spy he has failed horribly, he DID NOT deduce a weakness in edo tensi, he just lucked up and found naruto...he even said as the crow came out "let's see what happens"....he's lucky if anything overrated for sure

Which I think is a dropped plot point. I think Obito wanted to use Itachi but couldn't, probably because he was dying or wouldn't cooperate, so Obito tried to get Sasuke instead and Itachi wanted to prevent that. It was never revealed what Obito's plan was for Sasuke either.

He didn't fool Akatsuki, Obito was well aware. He also didn't reveal any information to Konoha or help them.

The alliance also knew ET's weakness, but they didn't know where to find Kabuto. Itachi thankfully knew where Kabuto was hiding.

wrong. obito and zetsu knew the whole time he was a spy and did nothing because they knew itachi wasnt spying on them at all and was achieving nothing.
he never deduced ETs weakness. he utterly failed against kabuto given kabutos strongest edo survived.
kabuto knew itachi was arrogant enough to rush in without understanding ET fully.
and knowing tobi would try to use sasuke is stupid because he should have killed sasuke to prevent this.

We all knwo he's smart but I hate it when people he beats some certain characters jus because he's smart. Anyways, op don't go against the manga. It protrayed him as that smart guy and your examples are off
hes not smart at all
Itachi's pretty much the smartest person in the series with Sasuke following him up and Kakashi following up Sasuke.
itachi is a severely braindead arrogant fool who underestimated everyone he met and actually acted SURPRISED when someone he tortured turned evil.
