True, i won't deny the fact that Sakura has always been intelligent. And from what we've seen Sakura is more intelligent. However, I do think think if Karin had proper training she'd be just as smart because i think she's always been smart even before meeting Oro like Sakura. I also think Karin is probably as intelligent as Sakura, i just think she probably hasn't gotten enough "screen time" to show her true potential:)
I think that up to a certain point, they are at the same levels, both are very analytical, observant, keen on details. Now, the only thing that makes Sakura be above, so to speak, is her brain, as she was shown to take the exam and answer the questions with zero cheating, resolving what manga told us to be above-genin complex battle situations. That, as well as her book-smarts intelligence.

As for Karin, she had her panel time where she shined a lot, it's just people who misjudge her based on her feelings for Sasuke, because apparently, in female characters such as Sakura and Karin, that;s all what people can see.

LE: Plus, Karin has that intelligence of a survivor type of thing...

What you presented here is selective evidence.

First of all, in that panel of Karin you posted, she was analyzing him over his chakra signature, because if you remember, she's a sensor... Plus, at that time, Tobi had appeared out of nowhere, whereas in the panel Sakura got, she saw him performing his 'slippery' thing, thus came with the conclusion.
Karin never really analyzed Tobi, what you posted was a sudden reaction after Tobi appeared suddenly in front of her.
So don't try to undermine Karin, especially by using 2 contextually different situations.

=_= i wonder how solving that fake paper would make her escape the prison if she got captured.
Karin just fooled those nameless idoits .

Who let a criminal keep a box with him In jail ?


Sakura also fooled people like kiba sai and lee .

So its not hard for her to use the same method on those gaurds


But its not needed since sakura can break the handcuff and the prison itself to escape

He used the same jutsu thats my point


Karin always analyze things by sensing i am not saying she is idiot she is smart but sakura rely on her brain while karin rely on her sense ability .


The thread is not about who is the best its about who is smarter which i believe is sakura .

Yes she is smart but that doesnt put her over sakura .

Figuring out k11 was by sensing anyway

The trick to fool dogs smell used in kids show and movies a lot . Its a shame thats how kishimoto view a smart mature ninja .


Also Karin by coincident had sasuke clothes that he thrown away

sakura she is smarter IMO
Already covered ;) .

That's not the only feat for Sakura's intelligence, Karin's neither...
But, i think Sakura's feats are more, and more impressive:

Sakura discovered Tobi's jutsu from chapter 395. She only left out the part of his jumping through dimensions.

I will go with sakura

Since she have much more feats

And characters like sasuke ,kakashi,zetsu,sasori point out she is a smart girl


Not to mention kishimoto himself say she along with shino is smartest in her generation (after shikamaru)


Karin is the same age as sakura so they are in the same generation therefore kishimoto say sakura is smarter .

They have both different type of smarts but i am leaning towards Sakura.

-Book smarts and knowledge - Sakura hands down

-Analysis - Both are good

-Battle smarts - Karin can't do much in a battle as a fighter, let alone coming up with strategies; she can observe from background but in the heat of battle she is nothing much like she was against that bear

-Emotional - Both are not good, but Sakura seems better
