1.Minato (no plan failed)
2.Kakashi
3.Itachi (sasuke the fail bro )
itachi? master of precognitive thinking???? what the f*ck was itachi's plan for the future? what are his feats??? sorry about that...
minato's plan was even more effective, right now his son is giving obito a hard time...this is due to the fact that he saw that controlling the ninetails was more effective so he gave his son all and even mixed his own chakra to the seal to observe everything inside naruto...
at least battle wise for kakashi and minato, they have been proven to analyze every opponent and counter them with their own jutsus...kakashi even outsmarted itachi the second time they fought...God these people...
I would go with Itachi. Kabuto states that Itachi knows things that could stop the war and that he needed that information from Itachi. He also stated that Itachi was a master at reading people which was true because he read Kabuto as clear as day. So apparently Itachi knew a pile of stuff that was never revealed.
I was going by this...kabuto is refering to the fact that that itachi stopped a war from ever happening by eliminating uchiha clan and not that he can single handedly stop an ongoing war.

"stopped a war" past tense
had the uchiha clan not been stopped a war would surely have broken outYou must be registered for see links
Kakashi
minato
itachi
thats my opinion
In battle
Minato because its shown in all his fight
Itachi because never wasted a single movement
Kakashi only last because itachi always outsmarted him in 1on1 combat
