Who is smarter?

[Karna]

Itachi, Minato was good goy who had personal issues figured out frm birth, unlike Itachi.

 

[Sasuke tyeezy]

Another Minato v Itachi wank thread. How original.

Ask yourself this, which of the two characters was not manipulated by Danzo, and then you'll have your answer.

That was just about the only way to save Sasuke & prevent another great ninja war, idiot.

Kakashi > Minato > Itachi in tactics and intelligence

As long as we are doing this.

Shikamaru > Kakashi > Minato > Itachi in tactics and intelligence. It canon.

 

[Mad Titan Thanos]

I agree

 

[Nick01]

Close, but Minato.

 

[Arima]

Itachi was not a spy and akatsuki knew his reason of joining the team!!!

Re-read manga. He was a spy and Akatsuki knew he was a spy. Itachi's efforts didn't pay off in the long run, since Konoha was destroyed anyway and a war broke out.

Minato gets way to much credit...

We all know shikamaru and his Dad are on another level from the others when we are talking about intelligence. The only problem I have with these two is they usually don't have the skills or jutsu to back up have the strategies they come up with so I usually don't include them.. With that said, I did acknowledge them..

As I was saying Minato gets to much credit.. Itachi is the one praised for having the mind frame at seven years old of a Hokage... Nothing more to say..

Minato is smart, very smart but he is on the same level as Sasuke,Kakashi, Tobirama, and Madara. Stop overestimating what he has done.

Those three get too much credit themselves lol.


Also, whats the farthest Sasuke and Kakashi has thought ahead?

 

[Great Master Minato]

Just compare Minato's plan for Naruto's future to Itachi's failed plan for Sasuke, thinking ahead my ass! Minato is superior in every category.
Itachi is good when it comes to analytical skills but he's not that special in other categories, Shikamaru & his dad both have very high IQ & can form very good strategies but as seen in the war they can't do anything in tough situation because they lack the skills to use their intelligence at its finest.
But we have guys like Minato,Tobirama & Kakashi who are all impressive in every category whether it's analytical skills or jutsu creation or strategy.

 

[Remedy]

Minato was able to deduce in minutes what Itachi did not in years. Not only did Minato have a plan that spanned across 16 years successfully, he had back up plans to put his and his wife's chakra in place to help Naruto master the Kyuubi, just incase, and this plan was all spur of the moment. Itachi's precautions involving Sasuke failed. Minato in part helped make the man who would consistently save everyone while Itachi created, at best, a wild card who was a very unstable ally.

Even then, Minato's plan of Naruto ultimately made Itachi's plan for Sasuke a success, so Itachi's plan leaned on Minato's.

At the age of 13 Sasuke new he was going to kill Orochimaru.. So I guess two and a half years... But I honestly don't see your point.

Sasuke is just as impressive but I'm sure you left him out by mistake.

itachi wins battle of intelligence i can say minato was a good hokage and a pretty inteligent guy but itachi was prodigy of inteligence

 

[NarutoX28]

Itachi.

Obito intentionally kept secrets from Itachi because he actually viewed Itachi as a threat.

 

[Tyris]

Lord Crow incorporates the reading of souls into his tactics... idk wtf kishi smokin but Lord Crow tactical abilities are haxx.

Minato was thinking about his village and missions until tobidara showed up while Lord Crow has been thinking as a hokage since 7.

 

[Great Master Minato]

Itachi.

Obito intentionally kept secrets from Itachi because he actually viewed Itachi as a threat.

Funny enough that Itachi thought Obito was Madara his entire life :lol
Minato debunked that idea the very first second he saw Tobi, actually Minato was the only one who wasn't fooled by Obito.

Minato's a sensor yet couldn't recognize Obito's own Chakra signature?

That dumbass.

Looks like you're as dumb as your fave...
Obito had Hashirama's DNA/Chakra so his Chakra Signature was messed up, try again kiddo...

What? Minato negged Kamui & TSB in seconds! What did Itachi show to put him above Minato?

Outside battle? You mean the shitty plan he had in mind for Sasuke? That failure!
