- merged the split bijuu chakra and used them in conjunct w/ susanoo as gedo mazo's replacement(kurama praised him)
- effectively used himself as decoy for boruto to finish off Momoshiki.
that's all I can think of atm. intelligence isn't just being smart, it's remaining calm and collected in the heat of battle, especially when one can't rely on clones to gather intel and weak points for them while remaining out of harms way.

ChakraControl:
CC is a testament of a Ninja's skill and intelligence along with the abilities he creates, how he uses them and how effective their usage is. Sasuke's CC is exceptional in the manga. In fact, it is unparalleled as Kurama stated by comparing it to the Sage - Copt-pasted stuff from my thread:
Chakra Control:
In layman manga terms, Chakra Control (CC) is just that, control over chakra; how it's regulated, how it's kneaded and how it is turned into a technique. Lack of control leads to unrefined techniques, over-usage of chakra and lack of mastery over the said tech.
These images are basically the gist of it:

Sasuke's incomparable Chakra Control:
As you can see, it's simple. Now we come to the main topic at hand that concerns Sasuke's much talked about a feat that puts him on the same pedestal as Sage of the Six paths. Time for a little history lesson:
This is what the Sage accomplished:
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
Basically, what the Sage did was use a highly advanced version of Izanagi (Uchihas use the watered down version to simply "erase the results") or The Creation of all Things (COAT) through Yin/Yang elemental power and ripped the chakra into nine pieces, gave it shape and breathed life into it and sealed the Mezo. Mind you, it’s his most renowned and advanced feat!
Now, Sasuke faced a huge bump in the road to take a hard ride out of Konoha's moist juncture that awaited him with a wide and wanton, open stance; he didn't have a Mezo! How did he get around it? He went beyond Perfect Susanoo (the final, stabilized version of Complete Susanoo) by molding it into a container.
Before I proceed, it's important to note that Susanoo itself requires an immense amount of CC. This can be easily ascertained by Itachi's shock at Sasuke's use of Susanoo and Madara outright stating that PS is only achieved through the stabilization of Complete Susanoo's Chakra; that itself is a mountainous structure to maintain, hold and control, let alone mold and perfect it further into what Sasuke did:
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
For the Bijuus, he pulled out the chakra and amalgamated it perfectly into PS molded into a Mezo structure to feed chakra to his Raiton techs (I will get to this point later). Now, the Sage performed COAT. Sasuke performed the opposite of COAT, but with additional control. This is what Kurama stated in that infamous scene (VIZ Translation, courtesy of my boi, Immortal):
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
It isn't far-fetched to assume that "vessel for Susanoo" means exactly that; Sasuke became a kind of pseudo-Jubi-Jin, only without the beasts merged in the manner within the Mezo. As a Jubi Jin is a vessel for the Mezo/Jubi. He didn't pull out their complete chakra either. Who knows what he could have accomplished had he done it. But, we will never know … Curses!
Notice, in the second scan, how Sasuke is "simultaneously" not only performing the outer-path pull, but is also kneading, controlling and performing the exact opposite of COAT, but, he is molding his PS to turn into a Mezo as well. That is FOUR tasks in one go. FOUR complex tasks, that not only involve Bijuu chakra but also Rinnegan control and his own chakra control; all to perform a task that is the opposite of COAT!
But, is that all? No. That brings us to the main argument: Sasuke's Chakra Control is something else. Why? Look closely at these scans; coloured and regular:
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
What do you see? That's right, that is ALL the merged Bijuu chakra turned into Raiton! All of it. You can easily see the entire Bijuu Chakra, that isn't merged with Mezo-PS in any manner, flowing out of the exposed structures as raw Raiton in all the scans. It's easy to spot as it's forked like Lightning:
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
And that's not all; he created a Raiton Sword as well! The scene where he smashed the dull Bunshin down was recreated perfectly in the anime!
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
But, does this argument end here? No. Sasuke performed teleportation (as shown in the scan above where he smashed the Bunshin down), Taijutsu and ... Raiton Senbon AND created a whole bow and an arrow (Indra's Arrow) from the same structure: that is several uses of exponentially advanced Physical AND Spatial manipulation/Re-composition seen in the entire manga bar none!
This is what Kakashi states about the arduous task, as once you hand over a kneaded chakra, what's left in the task at hand? Nothing at all other than the tiny end of the monkey's tail; you let the monkey get away!
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
As Sasuke is doing all that (and all by himself, unlike a certain someone who receives kneaded chakra after every tiny stumble and during every small task) WHILST maintaining PS-Mezo; a task that was performed in the direct opposition of COAT!
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
Thus, Sasuke physically composed the ENTIRE Bijuu chakra into Raiton. Then, he Spatially composed it to determine its shape, scope and strength. He did three Spatial compositions for IA: converted the sword into the end of the bow, create the string of Raiton (and how PRECISE that had to be to launch it at just the right speed; you have to read on bows to even realize the magnitude of this feat) and the Arrow itself. And I am not even counting those Senbons. That’s FOUR complex tasks (Seven if I count shifting chakra management) on CC alone and without the handout of "Universal Grasp of all things; an auto-pilot-Chakra-Control-Mode." Believe it, folks!
That is a hell lot of chakra to manage, control perfectly and launch a devastating attack that overpowered, not one, but two Futon-based attacks. Something Ration is meant to accomplish if it's focused:
You must be registered for see images
So, yes, Sasuke's CC really is on a level that remains, and will always remain, untouched.
Heck, how many varients has he made when no one taught him those? 9 in total if Chidori is counted? Furthermore, Sasuke is the only other person (3rd Raikage is the other one) to make his Chidori sharper by bringing the focus down to just two fingers. One is hell-stab. Heck, he sharpened the focus by using using futher shape transformation as well as he's using a spear:

Kirin: Sasuke is the only person to control a natural phenomenon and shape it like people shape Chakra. The only person in the entire manga. That is a feat that no one has bar Kaguya who actually mixes her chakra with the surrounding to effect it. Sasuke simply turns his body into a rod and then shape the lightnining that falls down on him into a Dragon. This feat is unmatched in the manga. Period. He controls and shapes all the Lightning in a 60K feet cloud with one hand. One hand, ******es. One hand:

Forming a technique via CC requires a change in chakra form and nature. For instance, Chidori is created by changing the chakra nature to Raiton, then its form is changed to discharge it, along with setting its "range of action" and "power level." Mind you, Sasuke mastered Chidori in a single month along with Lee's "one gate / weightless speed (something he hadn't even seen)," when it requires a "massive amount of time" and "incredible talent" to learn such a tech alone:

Sasuke's masterful use of Kenjutsu (you cannot even count the number of Jounin and Chunin class ninjas he has defeated; it's literally over a thousand men) and he defeated them without losing a drop of blood and taking them out through non-lethal means, which makes this Kenjutsu-feat unsurpassed in the whole manga. This, along with Sasuke's accelerated, abnormal progress in mere 2.5 years, made Orochimaru to comment that "Sasuke's genius surpassed his own when he was his age":

Senjutsu:
Cursed Seal's (CS) soruce of power is Senjutsu, and Sasuke mastered it when he took it out against Naruto. What was that ... only the fourth time?

At the end, he chose to increase the radius and destructive nature of the blast by using Enton and Chidori side by side, in a single hand. Who has held two techs side by side, in a single hand, without combining them? No one. Heck, he coated Enton with it without combining it:
You must be registered for see images
I can even list that one where Sasuke was the quickest to figure out Obito's ability that his attack "phases" through. But, that would be putting more shit over the already shitted-on so-called Genuises of the manga like Kakashi, Minato and Shikamaru, heh.

So, yes, Sasuke's CC really is on a level that remains, and will always remain, untouched.
Heck, how many varients has he made when no one taught him those? 9 in total if Chidori is counted? Furthermore, Sasuke is the only other person (3rd Raikage is the other one) to make his Chidori sharper by bringing the focus down to just two fingers. One is hell-stab. Heck, he sharpened the focus by using using futher shape transformation as well as he's using a spear:

Kirin: Sasuke is the only person to control a natural phenomenon and shape it like people shape Chakra. The only person in the entire manga. That is a feat that no one has bar Kaguya who actually mixes her chakra with the surrounding to effect it. Sasuke simply turns his body into a rod and then shape the lightnining that falls down on him into a Dragon. This feat is unmatched in the manga. Period. He controls and shapes all the Lightning in a 60K feet cloud with one hand. One hand, ******es. One hand:

Forming a technique via CC requires a change in chakra form and nature. For instance, Chidori is created by changing the chakra nature to Raiton, then its form is changed to discharge it, along with setting its "range of action" and "power level." Mind you, Sasuke mastered Chidori in a single month along with Lee's "one gate / weightless speed (something he hadn't even seen)," when it requires a "massive amount of time" and "incredible talent" to learn such a tech alone:

Sasuke's masterful use of Kenjutsu (you cannot even count the number of Jounin and Chunin class ninjas he has defeated; it's literally over a thousand men) and he defeated them without losing a drop of blood and taking them out through non-lethal means, which makes this Kenjutsu-feat unsurpassed in the whole manga. This, along with Sasuke's accelerated, abnormal progress in mere 2.5 years, made Orochimaru to comment that "Sasuke's genius surpassed his own when he was his age":

I can even list that one where Sasuke was the quickest to figure out Obito's ability that his attack "phases" through. But, that would be putting more shit over the already shitted-on so-called Genuises of the manga like Kakashi, Minato and Shikamaru, heh.
That Enton-chidori feat is underrated. no one mentions it but he basically used another element with chidori(an element on its own) as a singular attack and he did so in the heat of battle.
Also to add, he cleverly lured itachi outside in order to take advantage of his amaterasu to help prepare the thunder clouds.

ChakraControl:
CC is a testament of a Ninja's skill and intelligence along with the abilities he creates, how he uses them and how effective their usage is. Sasuke's CC is exceptional in the manga. In fact, it is unparalleled as Kurama stated by comparing it to the Sage - Copt-pasted stuff from my thread:
Chakra Control:
In layman manga terms, Chakra Control (CC) is just that, control over chakra; how it's regulated, how it's kneaded and how it is turned into a technique. Lack of control leads to unrefined techniques, over-usage of chakra and lack of mastery over the said tech.
These images are basically the gist of it:

Sasuke's incomparable Chakra Control:
As you can see, it's simple. Now we come to the main topic at hand that concerns Sasuke's much talked about a feat that puts him on the same pedestal as Sage of the Six paths. Time for a little history lesson:
This is what the Sage accomplished:
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
Basically, what the Sage did was use a highly advanced version of Izanagi (Uchihas use the watered down version to simply "erase the results") or The Creation of all Things (COAT) through Yin/Yang elemental power and ripped the chakra into nine pieces, gave it shape and breathed life into it and sealed the Mezo. Mind you, it’s his most renowned and advanced feat!
Now, Sasuke faced a huge bump in the road to take a hard ride out of Konoha's moist juncture that awaited him with a wide and wanton, open stance; he didn't have a Mezo! How did he get around it? He went beyond Perfect Susanoo (the final, stabilized version of Complete Susanoo) by molding it into a container.
Before I proceed, it's important to note that Susanoo itself requires an immense amount of CC. This can be easily ascertained by Itachi's shock at Sasuke's use of Susanoo and Madara outright stating that PS is only achieved through the stabilization of Complete Susanoo's Chakra; that itself is a mountainous structure to maintain, hold and control, let alone mold and perfect it further into what Sasuke did:
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
For the Bijuus, he pulled out the chakra and amalgamated it perfectly into PS molded into a Mezo structure to feed chakra to his Raiton techs (I will get to this point later). Now, the Sage performed COAT. Sasuke performed the opposite of COAT, but with additional control. This is what Kurama stated in that infamous scene (VIZ Translation, courtesy of my boi, Immortal):
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
It isn't far-fetched to assume that "vessel for Susanoo" means exactly that; Sasuke became a kind of pseudo-Jubi-Jin, only without the beasts merged in the manner within the Mezo. As a Jubi Jin is a vessel for the Mezo/Jubi. He didn't pull out their complete chakra either. Who knows what he could have accomplished had he done it. But, we will never know … Curses!
Notice, in the second scan, how Sasuke is "simultaneously" not only performing the outer-path pull, but is also kneading, controlling and performing the exact opposite of COAT, but, he is molding his PS to turn into a Mezo as well. That is FOUR tasks in one go. FOUR complex tasks, that not only involve Bijuu chakra but also Rinnegan control and his own chakra control; all to perform a task that is the opposite of COAT!
But, is that all? No. That brings us to the main argument: Sasuke's Chakra Control is something else. Why? Look closely at these scans; coloured and regular:
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
What do you see? That's right, that is ALL the merged Bijuu chakra turned into Raiton! All of it. You can easily see the entire Bijuu Chakra, that isn't merged with Mezo-PS in any manner, flowing out of the exposed structures as raw Raiton in all the scans. It's easy to spot as it's forked like Lightning:
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
And that's not all; he created a Raiton Sword as well! The scene where he smashed the dull Bunshin down was recreated perfectly in the anime!
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
But, does this argument end here? No. Sasuke performed teleportation (as shown in the scan above where he smashed the Bunshin down), Taijutsu and ... Raiton Senbon AND created a whole bow and an arrow (Indra's Arrow) from the same structure: that is several uses of exponentially advanced Physical AND Spatial manipulation/Re-composition seen in the entire manga bar none!
This is what Kakashi states about the arduous task, as once you hand over a kneaded chakra, what's left in the task at hand? Nothing at all other than the tiny end of the monkey's tail; you let the monkey get away!
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
As Sasuke is doing all that (and all by himself, unlike a certain someone who receives kneaded chakra after every tiny stumble and during every small task) WHILST maintaining PS-Mezo; a task that was performed in the direct opposition of COAT!
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
Thus, Sasuke physically composed the ENTIRE Bijuu chakra into Raiton. Then, he Spatially composed it to determine its shape, scope and strength. He did three Spatial compositions for IA: converted the sword into the end of the bow, create the string of Raiton (and how PRECISE that had to be to launch it at just the right speed; you have to read on bows to even realize the magnitude of this feat) and the Arrow itself. And I am not even counting those Senbons. That’s FOUR complex tasks (Seven if I count shifting chakra management) on CC alone and without the handout of "Universal Grasp of all things; an auto-pilot-Chakra-Control-Mode." Believe it, folks!
That is a hell lot of chakra to manage, control perfectly and launch a devastating attack that overpowered, not one, but two Futon-based attacks. Something Ration is meant to accomplish if it's focused:
You must be registered for see images
So, yes, Sasuke's CC really is on a level that remains, and will always remain, untouched.
Heck, how many varients has he made when no one taught him those? 9 in total if Chidori is counted? Furthermore, Sasuke is the only other person (3rd Raikage is the other one) to make his Chidori sharper by bringing the focus down to just two fingers. One is hell-stab. Heck, he sharpened the focus by using using futher shape transformation as well as he's using a spear:

Yup, pretty much. The guy punked a Root head who is several decades older than him. What's the best Shikamaru, Kakashi and Minato have done? Nothing at all that comes even close to this and that Orochimaru feat where he trapped him when he was just 12 years old. Sasuke's intelligence feats are grossly underrated.

Now, the Sage performed COAT. Sasuke performed the opposite of COAT, but with additional control. This is what Kurama stated in that infamous scene (VIZ Translation, courtesy of my boi, Immortal):

It isn't far-fetched to assume that "vessel for Susanoo" means exactly that; Sasuke became a kind of pseudo-Jubi-Jin, only without the beasts merged in the manner within the Mezo. As a Jubi Jin is a vessel for the Mezo/Jubi. He didn't pull out their complete chakra either. Who knows what he could have accomplished had he done it. But, we will never know … Curses!
Notice, in the second scan, how Sasuke is "simultaneously" not only performing the outer-path pull, but is also kneading, controlling and performing the exact opposite of COAT, but, he is molding his PS to turn into a Mezo as well. That is FOUR tasks in one go. FOUR complex tasks, that not only involve Bijuu chakra but also Rinnegan control and his own chakra control; all to perform a task that is the opposite of COAT!
But, is that all? No. That brings us to the main argument: Sasuke's Chakra Control is something else. Why? Look closely at these scans; coloured and regular:

What do you see? That's right, that is ALL the merged Bijuu chakra turned into Raiton! All of it. You can easily see the entire Bijuu Chakra, that isn't merged with Mezo-PS in any manner, flowing out of the exposed structures as raw Raiton in all the scans. It's easy to spot as it's forked like Lightning:

And that's not all; he created a Raiton Sword as well! The scene where he smashed the dull Bunshin down was recreated perfectly in the anime!

But, does this argument end here? No. Sasuke performed teleportation (as shown in the scan above where he smashed the Bunshin down), Taijutsu and ... Raiton Senbon AND created a whole bow and an arrow (Indra's Arrow) from the same structure: that is several uses of exponentially advanced Physical AND Spatial manipulation/Re-composition seen in the entire manga bar none!
This is what Kakashi states about the arduous task, as once you hand over a kneaded chakra, what's left in the task at hand? Nothing at all other than the tiny end of the monkey's tail; you let the monkey get away!
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
As Sasuke is doing all that (and all by himself, unlike a certain someone who receives kneaded chakra after every tiny stumble and during every small task) WHILST maintaining PS-Mezo; a task that was performed in the direct opposition of COAT!
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
Thus, Sasuke physically composed the ENTIRE Bijuu chakra into Raiton. Then, he Spatially composed it to determine its shape, scope and strength. He did three Spatial compositions for IA: converted the sword into the end of the bow, create the string of Raiton (and how PRECISE that had to be to launch it at just the right speed; you have to read on bows to even realize the magnitude of this feat) and the Arrow itself. And I am not even counting those Senbons. That’s FOUR complex tasks (Seven if I count shifting chakra management) on CC alone and without the handout of "Universal Grasp of all things; an auto-pilot-Chakra-Control-Mode." Believe it, folks!
That is a hell lot of chakra to manage, control perfectly and launch a devastating attack that overpowered, not one, but two Futon-based attacks. Something Ration is meant to accomplish if it's focused:

So, yes, Sasuke's CC really is on a level that remains, and will always remain, untouched.
Heck, how many varients has he made when no one taught him those? 9 in total if Chidori is counted? Furthermore, Sasuke is the only other person (3rd Raikage is the other one) to make his Chidori sharper by bringing the focus down to just two fingers. One is hell-stab. Heck, he sharpened the focus by using using futher shape transformation as well as he's using a spear:

Kirin: Sasuke is the only person to control a natural phenomenon and shape it like people shape Chakra. The only person in the entire manga. That is a feat that no one has bar Kaguya who actually mixes her chakra with the surrounding to effect it. Sasuke simply turns his body into a rod and then shape the lightnining that falls down on him into a Dragon. This feat is unmatched in the manga. Period. He controls and shapes all the Lightning in a 60K feet cloud with one hand. One hand, ******es. One hand:

Forming a technique via CC requires a change in chakra form and nature. For instance, Chidori is created by changing the chakra nature to Raiton, then its form is changed to discharge it, along with setting its "range of action" and "power level." Mind you, Sasuke mastered Chidori in a single month along with Lee's "one gate / weightless speed (something he hadn't even seen)," when it requires a "massive amount of time" and "incredible talent" to learn such a tech alone:

Sasuke's masterful use of Kenjutsu (you cannot even count the number of Jounin and Chunin class ninjas he has defeated; it's literally over a thousand men) and he defeated them without losing a drop of blood and taking them out through non-lethal means, which makes this Kenjutsu-feat unsurpassed in the whole manga. This, along with Sasuke's accelerated, abnormal progress in mere 2.5 years, made Orochimaru to comment that "Sasuke's genius surpassed his own when he was his age":

end, he chose to increase the radius and destructive nature of the blast by using Enton and Chidori side by side, in At the a single hand. Who has held two techs side by side, in a single hand, without combining them? No one. Heck, he coated Enton with it without combining it:

I can even list that one where Sasuke was the quickest to figure out Obito's ability that his attack "phases" through. But, that would be putting more shit over the already shitted-on so-called Genuises of the manga like Kakashi, Minato and Shikamaru, heh.
interesting, that enton-chidori, didn't sasuke do something similiar w/ enton-FRS. or something like that?

VM me whatever I missed. I left out a few deliberately as it would have made the post so long. Matched? Dude, Minato's best feats are easily surpassed by Sasuke's. Easily. It's not even a contest. Heck, Sakura has his best intelligence feat beat.
Sasuke was the person to percieve the intentions of the Chunin exams perfectly:

He only used homing birds on him and used a C3 bird on the village to make him deplete chakra. Gaara got punked:

FuinJutsus Counter and a new Usage: Sasuke had only seen the Fuinjutsu only once in his childhood, when Kakashi used it on him to contain the cursed seal.

ChakraControl:
CC is a testament of a Ninja's skill and intelligence along with the abilities he creates, how he uses them and how effective their usage is. Sasuke's CC is exceptional in the manga. In fact, it is unparalleled as Kurama stated by comparing it to the Sage - Copt-pasted stuff from my thread:
Chakra Control:
In layman manga terms, Chakra Control (CC) is just that, control over chakra; how it's regulated, how it's kneaded and how it is turned into a technique. Lack of control leads to unrefined techniques, over-usage of chakra and lack of mastery over the said tech.
These images are basically the gist of it:

Sasuke's incomparable Chakra Control:
As you can see, it's simple. Now we come to the main topic at hand that concerns Sasuke's much talked about a feat that puts him on the same pedestal as Sage of the Six paths. Time for a little history lesson:
This is what the Sage accomplished:
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
Basically, what the Sage did was use a highly advanced version of Izanagi (Uchihas use the watered down version to simply "erase the results") or The Creation of all Things (COAT) through Yin/Yang elemental power and ripped the chakra into nine pieces, gave it shape and breathed life into it and sealed the Mezo. Mind you, it’s his most renowned and advanced feat!
Now, Sasuke faced a huge bump in the road to take a hard ride out of Konoha's moist juncture that awaited him with a wide and wanton, open stance; he didn't have a Mezo! How did he get around it? He went beyond Perfect Susanoo (the final, stabilized version of Complete Susanoo) by molding it into a container.
Before I proceed, it's important to note that Susanoo itself requires an immense amount of CC. This can be easily ascertained by Itachi's shock at Sasuke's use of Susanoo and Madara outright stating that PS is only achieved through the stabilization of Complete Susanoo's Chakra; that itself is a mountainous structure to maintain, hold and control, let alone mold and perfect it further into what Sasuke did:

For the Bijuus, he pulled out the chakra and amalgamated it perfectly into PS molded into a Mezo structure to feed chakra to his Raiton techs (I will get to this point later).
