Who is smarter:Itachi or Obito?

[The Necromancer]

Itachi is more analytical, Obito has more information to work with.

 

[Olyasama]

Obito imo. He has fooled Itachi without much trouble after all.

 

[Shadow Phantasm]

Obito imo. He has fooled Itachi without much trouble after all.

He was also cautious around Itachi and I'd say Obito was the one who got fooled since he did'nt know Itachi was a spy.

 

[kladara]

Obito knows every single thing about Shinobi World .
Itachi is smarter in combat though .

It's a tie ... But ... I'm gonna say Obito .

 

[Chīkara]

with manipulation obito by far.

 

[Shadow Phantasm]

with manipulation obito by far.

Don't forget Itachi manipulated everyone including his own brother into thinking he killed the Uchiha clan for sh*ts and giggles.Hell most don't even know the truth and he manipulated everyone in Akatsuki as well.

 

[-Punk-]

lol . Itachi is smarter .

 

[BlacLord™]

Let's compare them:

At 13 years old:

- Obito was a Chuunin and quite dim.
- Itachi was an ANBU Captain with Hokage level reasoning.

We can't compare them at current because Itachi died aged 21, whereas Obito is 30+, comparing like that is biased.

Verdict: Itachi Uchiha.

Note: Knowledge doesn't equate to intelligence, you can know many things and still not be intelligent. (Unless you're talking military/political intelligence, i.e. "I'm going to gather intelligence on the enemy")

Obito

When it comes to battle It is Obviously Itachi

Nope ,Obito after is on a completly new level after Rin's death....

He improved lot in a time span of 1year or less ...while fighting Minato u can see a completly dif Obito ...By that time he gained alot of knwledge on Shinobi system learned alot of Jutsu like Uchiha's forbidden jutsu and jutsu of Sage etc...U can't achive all these things jutsu with knwledge especially with in one Year...

 

[naruttebayo]

obito is smarter but a crazy at times

but that guy fooled not just itachi but also madara and several 7 rank ninja

 

[GrayParadise]

Itachi.
Easily.

All that he learn't is knowledge. All you need for knowledge is a memory, of which I don't doubt Obito has.

Obito has more knowledge (presumably) but Itachi is more intelligent.

LMAO at 14 he controlled a tailed beast, at that age Itachi was still anbu level, try again

 

[Tartarus]

Obito, he was playing far more people and factors than Itachi. He already beat Itachi in his game of wits since he managed to get Sasuke on his side,managed to stay hidden from everyone's radar, and hijack Madara's plot.

We're comparing inteligence, not battle feats. Besides, it doesn't require a great deal of intelligence to hypnotise a lump of chakra when the eye does it for you.

Okay then, at 14 Obito had knowledge on multiple things, he was a mad scientist and was mainipulating Nagato, he also controlled a perfect jin and was a decent stradigiest.

Your arguement is invalid.

 

[VongolaX]

Obito imo. He has fooled Itachi without much trouble after all.

There is a difference between cunning and intellect you know.

 

[Avonomemi]

I give it to itachi, obito was and still unable to discover itachi true plans. Beside obito had help

 

[Shadow Phantasm]

Sasuke was never on Obito's side.

There's a distinction here between knowledge and intelligence ... When you break down intelligence into its several derivatives, logic, abstract thought, understanding, self-awareness, communication, learning, having emotional knowledge, retaining, planning, and problem solving., Itachi obviously comes out on top.. that's self evident, we've seen Obito actually praising his intelligence in the manga already, his planning and problem solving..

When it comes to learning and understanding, Itachi once again was the superlative student here when it comes to academics and being a ninja... While Obito was a lackluster student, he had to train extremely hard to get where he is, though he surpassed itachi in sheer power , we're talking about his intellectual capability right now

As for retaining information, i.e memory, Can't speak about that can't we, We can easily say that at a younger age Itachi, we can by right say Itachi was better at this as reflected in his better grades, but they grew up, I can't make a distinction


Cunning, deceit and manipulation are not parts of intelligence.... You can have an average intelligence and know what words to tell a person to make them obey you , it's just being sly, nothing else


Now back to the distinction I was making .. Knowledge is the accumulation of facts and information that you have learned about or experienced. It’s being aware of something, and having information, self evidently , Obito, like Tobirama had ALOT of this.. he had information on just about all Konoha's clans, and their abilities, and never ending information on the Sage of 6 paths, his story and legacy....

As stated before, Intelligence is more of an umbrella term used to described mind properties and related abilities.. Knowledge, is just one factor of intelligence... just one, and in no way does it equate to being more intelligent that a person, or more of a genius than a person

You study half your life in computer science, while another person studies for half their life in theoretical physics... There is no way to tell who is more intelligent from that fact.. all we know is that the computer science major is likely more knowledgeable in computer science vice versa...

I'll reiterate the important points... Cunning and deceitfulness are not traits of intelligence... You can be as wise as some ancient philosopher and still be unable to lie and get your way with people....While the average intelligence street conman can do a much better job at it than you ..

Knowledge also is only one aspect of intelligence, If you're comparing two people, you have to compare all of them

And the end result of that is Itachi by a landslide
