Threads like these are bound to cause an uproar and eventually a fanbase war.
Wouldn't be surprised if it shots to hot thread :rolleyes:

Anyway this is subjective and everybody has their own take on things, there is no right or wrong answer. But also im not sure what you mean by smart.

If you mean analytical ability and the ability to come up numerous plans of attack in a matter of seconds then that goes to shikamaru believe it or not. Just go back to his fights against temari and tayuya and his feats are far more impressive than itachi, kakashi or minato's

Itachi simply cos of how he always seems to be an step ahead of his opponents. Look at most of his battles so far:
1. KAKASHI - MS TSUKIYOMI
2. Orochimaru - normal genjutsu
3. Sasuke - Susano
4. Nagato - figuring out the weakness of shared vision in...... what one look
5. DSM kabuto - Izanami

What can I say??? The guy always pulls out something never seen before and analyses things better than Minato

1. Both are calm in battle.
2. Both are considered genius and acknowledged by all.
3. Both never underestimate an opponent.
4. Both are expert in finding their enemies weakness.
5. Both are extremely skilled.
I think they both are around the same level. If you find anything difference between the two in them in terms of their skills and mind let me know.

Chick chick, bang!

What's with stupid threads like this???? Minato had one battle to show his smarts, Itachi has had numerous battles to prove his smarts. When both characters have had equal amounts of battles shown then we can come to a real conclusion.

1 battle is more than enough and minato has shown he was smart numerous times without engaging in battle

who is the smarter shinobi?
smartest

and let the flame war begin.

some1 please bring some popcorn

u should not have corrected the guy because his wording is right. Just because itachi and minato is there it doesn't mean that they are the smartest people. I believe that shikaku would mind f**k both of them

referring to the thread: we have seen that both itachi and minato have been able to successfully predict the future and provide help (even though dead) through their long term plans. BUT, considering what Minato has confronted and how he dealt with the situation I would say that he is the smarter among the two of them.

After all, Minato's plan raised a person to be the savior of the world. . . Itachi's plan created a man full of unprecedented hatred.

Both of them are quite smart. I can't really tell which one would be smarter. They both plan ahead and analyze the slightest weaknesses of their opponent :shrug:

Minato didn't fail in doing anything. If you have seen the latest anime (i would like to refer to it because i don't remember the manga chapter) naruto explains it fairly well to the raikage how minato succeeded on rather than failed in life! The savior is still within naruto just because of him. If there was no minato, there would have been no savior at all by the way !

Let me put this straight.

4 people in the manga have found out what minato has been praized to done all this years..
Obito's space time jutsu..

1-Namikaze Minato
2-Fuu and Torune (yeah 2 fodder from root)
3-Konan
4-Hatake Kakashi

Now only one person foundout about Nagato's Visual link and chibaku
1-Uchiha Itachi

So now who is smarter? Itachi>minato
Why?, simple what took minato a whole encounter with obito, try and error, itachi found about nagato in a Blink.
