True, and oh I made a little mistake. He did graduate at a age of seven.
Thanks for reminding me. :p

@Shusui Uchiha, I agree kinda. If I remember the flashback and if I recall correctly it was in shippuuden ep 112/113.
Where Sasuke fought and defeated him.

Sasuke defeated Shisui? Sorry what?

Itachi had the wisdom of a kage at age 7
It has nothing to do with intelligence

Kakashi is smarter than both of them. He has average blood and became a legend. Madara himself calls Kakashi by first name and stated that Kakashi had a good eye when he had the sharingan.

Itachi and Oro are scrubs now.

the problem with trying to answer this question is that for every smart thing they did, one could probably name something they did that was about as dumb.
Kid Itachi. Hiruzen said it himself.
Hiruzen's opinions don't mean squat to me. As far as i'm concerned, he was blowing smoke because Itachi was an Uncle Tom.

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?
False Itachi graduated at age 7

I may have to say to Orochimaru. Itachi had wisdom of a Kage level; doesn't necessarily make him a genius.

Itachi was very wise, even at a young age, which was probably made necessary by his hard life.
Orochimaru may seem smart, but perfectly average people can pick up knowledge from books secondhand. Secondhand is pretty much Orochimaru's middle name.
Oro's based off of a snake that Tsunade and Jirayia slayed in an old Japanese legend because he's a symbol of slimy behavior, and theft. Snakes are known for stealing eggs from nests etc.

Orochimaru has generations behind him, so you have to factor in age. One of the smartest idea's I heard in this anime though was the idea that Orochimaru uses DNA "Manipulations" and re-birth on himself, birthing through the snake, thus making Orochimaru thousands of years more evolved than anyone else.

Nope. Manga fact that he has dead parents over whom he was distressed.

Yeah I know he had parents, what I mean is that through his experiments he has speeded up evolution by giving birth to himself in very short periods of time while changing his DNA each time. What would take a natural "Advantage" of evolution thousands of years, takes him mere years! It's more RE-BIRTH than giving birth to himself!
