Who is smarter?

[Natsu Shazneel]

-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

Spoiler

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.

Notice you use "off-panel" development here?^ While defending a character who has no development character development?

It needs to be shown to add more depth to the character. All I see you guys do is make your own version of Sakura and claim she is this or that. When that is not the case. Had she been developed more naturally I doubt anyone would have problems with her.

@Bold, sakura has no character development? alright we are done.

Nope, notice i never mentioned anything about Sakura doing "fancy" stuff off-panel. Simply stated team 7 has had off-screen development that makes them that much closer (which is true for every single story written that has timeskips and so on), and thus they know more about each other than the reader would. And hence why Naruto's statement out weighs yours.

Sakura isn't smarter than Sasuke. But she has more technical knowladge since she likes to read and study a lot. Sasuke is focusing his intelligence on battle related complex ninjutsu etc, not which plant is more useful.

Sakura is smarter because she could answer more of the questions on the Chuunin written exam.

Sasuke is obviously superior in terms of battle tactics, jutsu usage and ninja tool usage, but that doesn't mean he's smarter.

@Bold i agree .

@underline, i disagree. The question Sakura answered was a battle tactic question.

She had more knowladge than Sasuke. Its not about being smarter. Chuunins who answered all questions, by your logic they're on par with Sakura and smarter than Sasuke, Shino etc. And she also needs to be smarter than Shikamaru, because he needed Ino's help to pass the test.

 

[Guitar Hero]

Sakura obviously has a superior IQ and she didnt need to cheat in the written chunin exams

More knowledgeable at a minimum, but knowledge implies a certain level of IQ and intellect to attain said knowledge. Sasuke was quite diligent and knowledgeable, yet couldn't even begin to understand most of the questions. This implies a level of unpreparedness greater than a simple lack of knowledge. Sakura was, and still is, smarter.

Its no insult to be less intelligent than those purposely placed in the exam room to fork over answers to skillful Shinobi. Yes it implies all test takers that got all the questions right were smarter than Sasuke.

Shikimaru lacked the same diligence as Sasuke and Sakura. If he actually studied he could have performed as well as Sakura.

He is too lazy to answer those question and they are all doing team work in the "field" and probably hide their character to others.

But Shikamaru who is smartest of the rookies also resorted to cheating. Does that mean Sakura is smarter than Shikamaru ?

Shikamaru always did the bare minimum in his tests. So if he knew the answers he would've solved enough of them which will help him pass, and let Ino to copy his answers. But Ino took the answers from Sakura and gave them to Shikamaru.

 

[FemmeFatale]

Sakura, it was confirmed when they were inside of susanoo, that kakshi and sakura >>> sasuke in intellect, sasuke will admit it

What Naruto saw off-screen was nothing more then blank pages. Because that is what it means to be off-screen. If what you said was true then Naruto would have had some sort of flashback of what he saw during that off-screen period of time. A character's connection is developed on-screen not off-screen. You fail to realize the basics of reading a fictional story.

And oh his words are nothing more then hype unless proven. This goes the same with the Prime Hurizen hype.

If you look again at the manga and the anime of chunnin exam, they team tried to not show off from the very start. They know that they are weak, probably the weakest. So to avoid any further trouble, they remained invisible until the sakura' incident. I think that was logic for them to not answer directly (you see sakura was the target of ino to copy, imagine if other ninja know that they are weak, they will become nr1 target in the forest)

But if team relied on Shikamaru, how come others would be aware of this ? Instead of targeting Sakura, Ino would target Shikamaru. Rest is the same, everyone were on their business trying to figure a way out of that situation. And one of the points of that test was cheating without getting caught in the begin with, so relying Shikamaru instead of Sakura would be safer and no one could tell the difference. Instead, solving less questions on purpose thanks to Shikamaru's method would be safer considering examiners would also underestimate them.

I choose the one that got hyped by Madara.

You just dont know if some rules gonna change later and disqualify those with lower score or not.
Just as i said, if shikamaru answered the question, he will most likely to be targeted by other ninja, so best way is to act like noob and relies on cheat.
But one thing that possible is that they want every body on the team to work together or trying to hone Ino skill...

one had to ask a guy wearing a cloak that read "4th Hokage" who he was, and the other repeatedly used useless tactics in a fight. Take your pick
