Who is smarter?

[LuckyMan]

People holding battle smarts with more value than book smarts is just a baseless opinion. I could easily say part one Temari is smarter than Orochimaru because Oro's shown no battle smarts compared to what Temari showed in her fight with Shikamaru but that would be fallacious.

Temaris smarts are underrated in my opinion but I agree with what your saying. I think she was portrayed as slightly below Shikamaru with him always one upping her and they always had this great connection because they both were smart.

Who cares about book smart when you cant do shit with it?Battle intelligence is where the shit's at

Lol book smart?You do realize that being a book worm helps a lot in some battles right?

OT: sakura is probably overall smarter(if you define "smart" as who has more knowledge in most cases that is). Sasuke is just a better situation analyzer and of course better fighter.

Well Temari's strategy was just a bit slower than Shikamaru's as he's definitely the faster thinker but it still goes to show that Temari's capable of making a strategy while evading shadows and bombarding her opponent with fuuton. Not to mention Temari didn't know much about Shikamaru's shadows whereas Temari's fighting style was pretty straight forward.

1. Sasuke said it's the most improved from our team which includes himself.

2. He's seen Sasuke fight ever since chapter 630. How many times has Sakura actually fought? Absence of strategical feats isn't the same as evidence for absence of being able to strategize.

He didn't say that she's better than the team, he said she's the most improved. I could start off as a terrible swimmer, compared to 10 other people who swim like pro's , but by the end of the month, I end up swimming with the same efficiency of a lifeguard, and they still swim like Olympic swimmers, I'd be the most improved but the worst swimmer of the group.
Yes he has but it's been non-stop since 630, just the opponents switched their game, Sakura has never canonically made great strategies in battle, Sasuke has. Sasuke has strategic feats, she does not. In a debate if you do not have feats, there is no way to back up your claim without proper evidence. Naruto has absolutely no way, no way at all, to say that she could make better strategies than Sasuke...

Sakura

 

[KingHashirama]

Sasuke is smarter overall, definitely has the battle-smarts, although Sakura has book smarts.

One thing is for sure, Sarada is smart as hell. Lol

Manga:

Tactics/strategies = Sakura

Analytical skills = Sakura

Booksmarts = Sakura

In which is Sasuke more intelligent?



People are saying Sasuke can come up with quick strategies.. well Sakura can come up with quick cures, and then you have the whole Kamui thing. And then you have Kishimoto's databook stats for "intelligence".


If Sakura as a kid, can answer this.. then its only dumb to assume she can't come up with complex strategies. Only thing holding her back is the fact shes been a support fighter and not a frontline fighter.

But Sakura didn't start off less intelligent than Naruto and Sasuke so what you're saying is completely baseless. Not to mention that's probably a translation error and Sasuke was clearly alluding to the fact that he thinks Sakura is clearly better in those categories. Non stop fighting actually proves my point, Naruto's seen Sasuke's intellect (

). Sakura not making great strategies in battle doesn't mean she can't make great strategies in battle. For example, by feats guys like Izuna, White fang, etc. lose to the Sound four but it is clear they'd beat them. Sometimes hype is more important in the absence of feats.

Sasuke is smarter overall, definitely has the battle-smarts, although Sakura has book smarts.

Not nearly as smart as Shikadai.

 

[Kishi Uzumaki]

Probably Sakura Lol

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

Sasuke. He was smart enough to avoid Sakura most of the series.

 

[Ambivalence]

Sakura wins in book smarts and medical knowledge. Sasuke's got everything else covered.

Manga:

Tactics/strategies = Sakura

Analytical skills = Sakura

This guy... Lol

 

[BLAZE]

This guy... Lol

Repected and Feared :sdo:

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

For those who are doubting Naruto's words... please realize there is something called "off-screen" development. I'm sure Team 7 didn't just do 2/3 missions that were shown..

Furthermore, Naruto's words plus with the feats from Sakura hold far more value than the readers who do not know the "off-panel" stuff.

This post made me laugh. Lmao You are a great clown I must say.

This guy... Lol

Despite the proof given to you.... do you pay f*cking attention to the manga? keep your shitty opinion to yourself, if you are gonna wank on mediocre feats.

Atleast go learn what "book smarts" is.. before spouting about it.

This post made me laugh. Lmao You are a great clown I must say.

No I still have much to learn from you.

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

No I still have much to learn from you.

Sorry you are a very special case. Very hard to teach. Since you see this off-screen development that I don't see.

@Bold, only because you think, characters only do things that are shown. Naruto stood in pose, and automatically grew up when kishimoto made start of shippuden. No development occured between that.

No development of any kind occured between any arcs. Because characters simply "freeze". People don't even eat normally in naruto-verse since its not shown to us 24/7.


Oh man, see its hard to learn your stuff, when all of it goes against common sense.

 

[Dannie]

Doesn't mean he is the smartest because Shikamaru is smarter than him, he just never liked school to get good grades.

So what's Sakura's excuse?

 

[~Ethereal~]

I will go with the peeps that said Sasuke, LOL@ Shaz's comment on avoiding Sakura.

Looks like you don't know the definition of character development. Here let me help you slow poke.

Character development: the portrayal of people in a work of fiction in such a way that the reader or audience seems to learn more about them as they develop.

The character you are defending apperently never showed any development outside of powers. As a reader you must be able to see some sort of development as you read on. There is no such thing as off screen development. Even if there is, that sort of development is only fit for a side character. Sakura in this case was clearly not a side character.

There is reason behind her forehead.

-age

-experience

- position in the village

- their interactions with other characters

If its called "off-panel".. i don't know why you think it need to be shown. Start reading books.

Notice i never mentioned the word "character development".

development: : the act, process, or result of developing
