I think It's Itachi, here's why.






So here we basically see the most notable analyzing feat of Minato. Both feats are repeated through Kakashi and Itachi.
Here is Kakashi’s. As you can see it actually took Kakashi much longer to come to the conclusion that Minato did. However, at the same time Minato had a much closer, and better, experience for analyzing. This is mainly because he directly saw that Obito could Materliaze right after. Still this shows that Minato is probably above Kakashi in analyzing-though this is really the only reason why I think so.

Kakashi:



These scans above show how even with information on pain, Kakashi forgot and basically did the same thing that Naruto did; he forgot the information about linked vision and attacked pain.

We also see some great analyzing feats from him when he figures out Pain #1’s powers, but he did have to go through them and he saw it before. However, in order to figure out a counter he had to directly look at the interval.

What I’m trying to say is that Kakashi usually needs help to figure something out. Take Obito’s Kamui for example.
Itachi:










Now Itachi. Call me what you will, there is no denying that Itachi has shown the best and most feats in terms of analyzing between these guys-and maybe others.

First of all, a 13 year old Itachi was able to come to the same conclusion that Minato did, and he didn’t even face Obito directly. Some of you might say that Itachi was wrong and Minato was right about it being madara, but it doesn’t even matter because Minato’s sole reason for not believing that it was Madara was that he should be dead. If anything all this did was show that Itachi had more knowledge than Minato at age 13.
Itachi figured out Nagato’s linked vision and how to disable it faster than Kakashi could figure out Pain #1’s justu.
Itachi was able to figure out that Hashirama cells would enhance Koto. He was able to find a way to counter CT and how it worked as soon as it began. He knew that Edo Tensei wouldn’t stop if the user was killed. Itachi could literally analyze his opponents and their personality.

Let’s not forget that Obito stayed away from him while he went straight towards Minato and Kakashi.

There’s more feats from all three, but I think this sums up why I think what I think.

Shikamaru is supposed to be the most intelligent character in the manga (analysing included).

When I seen Kakashi as Shikamaru for a strategy plan, that's when he came off my list.

This really was a great feat but i still know itachi is the best at analyzing. I mean he figured out the rinnegans linked vision thing fast as hell and then countered it

Itachi is awesome, but the reason why he knows so much about rinnegan is because he did his research and did work under Nagato/Pain for many years.

Well Itachi did have the opportunity to sit back and watch the fight since kabuto had nagato focus only on Bee and Naruto and completely ignore Itachi.

Neither kakashi nor anyone else had such luxury when going up against Nagato/Pein. Analyzing a Jutsu is far easier when you aren't being pressured in combat

Kakashi, itachi and minato are in the same league...minato figured out kamui and counterattacked in seconds, while it took konan her life time, and took kakashi, guy, bee and naruto very long....minato is very good i tell you

Guy never seen Itachi in action.

Sausage is underrated here as well after all he defeated Deidara, Orochimaru, Danzo only due to his analytical abilities.

I reckon its hard for anyone to be a top tier analyst without the sharingan.

U guys are underestimating Shikamaru.


Shikamaru
Shikaku
Minato
Kakashi
Itachi
Tobirama
Sasuke
Some times Naruto

All are top dogs.
