any one who is smart enough or not a uchihaa d**k rider knows the fact that Minato is wayyyy smarter than itachi.
just look at minato's feats.
1.rescued kushina , just by figuring out the path made by her hairs
2.youngest hokage of all times
3.developed many complex jutsu like FTG,rashingan, death reaper seal and the list goes on
4.has a keen sense of analyzing objects and events like the way he analyzed TBB and chidori just by looking at it and finding out its shortcoming and weakness.
5.fought A and B and he also found out B was a jinchuriki at the spot and adviced A about future of killer B
6.He fought OP Tobi , found out his weakness in few minutes later and defeated him and was able to save his family, Konoha Village from 9 Tail fox.
7. Minato was extremely foresighted and he knew it was Madara or his henchman who caused the attack on konoha so he sealed half of kyubi chakra to naruto so that he would be able to fight the masked man.Similarly he also put his own chakra and kushina's chakra in naruto anticipating the seal will grow weak and reinforce it in future.
8. Minato was always a winner and he never did any thing wrong. even after his death he guided Naruto to right path and always did his best for betterment of konoha.
9.And the best part about minato is that he dont have Op sharingan ,which can read,predict,do many Op jutsu nor he had senju strenght or Uzumake life force. Minato was a normal ninja who came out best among the rest. and its all beacuse of his will power and intelligence.
Now lets talk about Itachi
yup itachi is a great intelligent ninja too but all i can see is failure and backfired plan and strategies only
1.Ist of all itachi has a huge advange , i.e sharingan which makes even a simple ninja Op. The main reason itachi pawned all of the other ninjas are sharingan. Look itachi himself admitted that the moment his M.S activated at that fruitful day he obtained tsukuyomi and Amatersu. these tech are obtained by lineage not earned by hard training or intelligence.So they are virtually gifts. same goes for his susanoo which was also free gifts from god .Hence itachi's intelligence is limited to how well his eyes are developed. I am preety sure itachi would be no better than a simple anbu fodder captain without his M.s and sharingan.
2.peoples talk about itachi's feats well to me all i see is failures in Itachi's corner.
a.Itachi let his friend shi sui die and couldnt save him from Danzou. itachi only reached shi sui's final death bed to awaken his M.S and take SHI SUI's eyes
b.Itachi even coulnt convince his villager to stop Coup D feat and made the worst possible choice of killing all his clan members.Well what the fking use of being intelligent if its used against your own family and kill you own family. Fk that intelligence
c.Itachi was only a pawn in the great lie of history by Tobi, Tobi manipulated and used itachi for his grandscheme and itachi didnt knew even after his death who exactly tobi was !!!!!!!!!!! what a waste of great intelligence.
d.Itachi made an ass out of his intelligence when he got surprised and ambushed by Jiraiya and nearly got his ass digested in frog's stomach. and both itachi and kishame had to run for their lives.
e.Itachi spared life of his brother sasuke , only for him to be a vigilante and destroy the same konoha that itachi vowed to protect hence this is another grand failure.
f. Even during his whole lifetime itachi never won a single major fight ,except for trolling kakashi and Orochimaru . and non of these battle showed any of his intelligence prowess but only OP genjutsu rendered by sharingan hence i havent seen any intellegence at all
g. Now about edo itachi , well he was just a tool of kabuto and luckily shi sui eyes gave his awarness back so itachi beacame super powerful due to edo body and with help of naruto and killer B he was able to seal nagato. but u guys should know since itachi spend years with nagato so obviously he knows nagato has rinnegan. and his abilities bcoz unlike jiraiya , Itachi was quite friendly and familiar with pain's ability and plans.
hence all of above points proves that minato is way above itachi's league. In one place Minato is always a winner and who always plans right while itachi is the biggest failure in entire nartuoverse
