Hiruzen says that about both Itachi and Orochimaru are geniuses. (Stated in wiki.)
They are both a 'one-in-a-generation' genius. According to Hiruzen, Orochimaru is highly clever at his Genin age. Orochimaru was into things other children weren't capable of thinking of.
On the other hand, Itachi graduated at a age of 10 and surpassed many Shinobi and aside from (Naruto &) Sasuke, he is still not surpassed by other people.
Who do you think was more of a genius as child?
