Who do you think is most impressive Genius

[the last shinobi]

Since i've been watching/reading naruto I have been hearing the phrase " a genius that comes only once in a generation" This honor has been bestowed upon Orochimaru, Itachi, and Minato. For good reason these guys have been refered to as geniuses my question is who do you beleive is the most accomplished or deserving of this title.

My vote goes to Orochimaru reasons:
The strongest of the sannin
Has the most jutsu (except for maybe the third hokage)
Consider for the title of Hokage (as well as a the rest of the Sannin)
Left his village started his own village(sound)
Took control over the sand village
took out Kazikage
took out the 3rd hokage
figured out a technique to live forever(living Corse reanimation)
Undid uzumaki's shimigami seal
Found a way to overcome Itachi's totsuka blade
First person we know about using edo tensi since the 2nd hokage
most impressive of all is through everything he has been through he is still alive and well(while every other genius has passed away)


what do you guys think

 

[SeriousDogg]

Orochimaru/Minato/itachi

really.

 

[Bogard]

Minato because he has no kekkei genkei or special bloodline limit but was considered as a rare genius, advanced as a ninja faster than practically anyone

 

[Lucidus]

Minato because he has no kekkei genkei or special bloodline limit but was considered as a rare genius, advanced as a ninja faster than practically anyone

i agree with this

 

[PredictionGuru]

Orochimaru at the first spot for me.
Minato closely followed.

 

[TruthLover19]

I was gonna say itachi but u convinced me to agree with u, so Oro takes this one

 

[Badapdos]

He Didnt overcome Itachis Tosuka blade.
Itachi sealed Oros seal from Sasuke.
He came back from anko.
So he really Didnt overcome his Tosuka blade.

I say Itachi no matter what.
He Didnt fail as much as Oro or Minato.

Stealthy Itachi vs Minato thread, TC.

 

[AllomnisymbolsparttwoT]

madara.

obito

itachi

minato

orochimaru

shikimaru

 

[sulanis]

Minato Because with no kekkai genkai to fall back on, He used his natural genius to modify and use FTG technique to a new level, create Rasengan with plans to expand it, he also created a lot of S/T techniques that use amazing seals that the Uzumaki clan taught him.

His is pure talent and genius.

Don't get me wrong i think Itach is a natural genius as well, but he has a Powerful kekkai genkai to back him up!

Neither does orochimaru and is stated no where that there's anything speacial about him other than him being pale he got into the snake thing as he got older like jariya with the frogs

What technique did he create?

 

[Totsuka gg Amaterasu gg]

Him ⇩ ⇩ ⇩ ⇩ ⇩​

It doesn't matter if itachi is dead. He was smarter and more wise at the age of 18 than orochimaru at 50... What does that show u. All three are geniuses but itachi is the smartest among them. If hiruzen acknowledged that itachi thought like a hokage at just the age of seven imagine at an older age. Oro is smarter than minato though

 

[Badapdos]

madara.

obito

itachi

minato

orochimaru

shikimaru

No offense but put Itachi above all.
Madara is going against a war for his little brother.
But I put him above Obito.
Because, Obito is doing all this for a girl that was really a traitor & he didn't even know.

 

[Badapdos]

What technique did he create?

He created rasengan & used his Space time ninjutsu with rasengan.
To make (I don't know what it's called)
The move he used on Obito.

He Didnt overcome Itachis Tosuka blade.
Itachi sealed Oros seal from Sasuke.
He came back from anko.
So he really Didnt overcome his Tosuka blade.

I say Itachi no matter what.
He Didnt fail as much as Oro or Minato.

Being that he did that (place his dna in curse seals) as an emergancy back up plan for him falling in battle i think that does constitute overcoming being that he is walking around summoning hokages and things ijs and not stuck in the drunken state forever like everyone origanlly thought

 

[YellowFang]

For me,
1- Minato (A rarely seen genius in long times, that guy became the strongest of his time on his own)
2- Itachi/Oro (Born a genius among genius, one of the sharpest student ever seen at academy/His research-work can be granted an only Ph.D in NV, nothing is beyond this guy's knowledge)
3- Kakashi (Also one of the brightest student of academy, climbed up the ninja ranks faster than anyone else known)

Yes rasengan is all him, he doesn't get for the FTG that was made/used by the second. All he did was make rasengan and then use ftg their was created that was new there. I want to FTG level refer to the speed of the technique although he improved upon it doesn't mean he created it (eg edo tensi made by second improved by oro perfected by kabuto but it is still the second's technique)
