Then you have prodigies wanking other prodigies and praising them as better prodigies than themselves when they haven't done anything overly impressive compared the the former if at all. :sdo:
Don't forget the Geniuses and Prodigies (both titles) who wank other Prodigies, wank other Geniuses, but still fail in comparison to shinobi who have half the talent, useless drop outs, or in the rare chance someone born with a powerful KKG that can solo them easily with a single technique :sdo:

Then there's Orochimaru :lol

Yeah. XD I think if you ignore most, if not all of the praising in the manga, you'd get a more enjoyable read. :lol

Kishimoto has failed a lot of characters and their titles, not just the hyped one's, but he failed Naruto too with the Child of Prophecy garbage.

I guess the only one that stayed true to himself was Lee, but even then Kishimoto called him a Prodigy of hard work.

He needs to stfu :rage:

I think she's extremely talented too, but there's just not enough medical shinobi to label them as Geniuses or Prodigies.

Hell isn't Kabuto one too despite having extremely different skill sets than Tsunade/Sakura?

Exactly.

Kabuto is a genius too.

kaira read!

Sarada has more talent than Sakura as a kid, argubly Sasuke, she has better chakra control from feats.

Boruto being able to use the Rasengan possibly younger than Naruto, having an element, possibly creating a new jutsu/combining an element with an Rasengan where Naruto did it at 16, etc.,

The Chou Chou example in the OP.

The list goes on as we learn more.

In a long run, neither Sarada nor Boruto will surpass their parents tho. As for the others, they probably will never have as much combat experience as their parents (I mean Chocho etc)

Someone who did something so impressive? Prodigy confirmed!

Just logic in a nutshell.

Too many titles.

But yeah I think Kabuto may be more talented than Tsunade and Sakura, I believe she said that he was when she fought him in Part 1 right? He just lacked the firepower.

The actual manga throws around the word prodigy way more than the base. The list of 'prodigies' is basically endless.

Orochimaru
Sasuke
Tobirama
Madara
Minato
Itachi
Indra
Kakashi

The list probably goes on.

Quick question :

If each generation surpasses previous one then which generation did surpass Otsutsuki family generation.

Kaguya,Hamura,Hagoromo.

Sasuke dojutsu skills > JJ Hagoromo and Kaguya skills

Naruto chakra control > JJ Hagoromo and Kaguya

It's not about surpassing them power-wise but skill-wise, Bolt surpassed Naruto in the sense that he managed to combine chidori with Rasengan, something the Seventh was never shown being capable of

It's only used for the best Ninja's in history, which is only a few compared to the long run of the Shinobi history. It may seem like alot but that's cause the story doesn't focus on hundreds of thousands of fodders. It focuses on a select few.

Sasuke dojutsu skills > JJ Hagoromo and Kaguya skills

Naruto chakra control > JJ Hagoromo and Kaguya

Correct

That quote has nothing to do with power.........

Only person to surpass Hashirama was Naruto... And nobody is going to surpass Naruto.. Naruto at the age of 17 was destroying mountain ranges with a single attack..


Hashirama/Madara/Tobirama/Izuna were vastly more skilled at the age of 12 then anyone from the new generation.

None of them are going to be as strong as part 1 Vote naruto and Sasuke at the age of 12. They are not surpassing them.

Definition of prodigy:

Prodigy: : a young person who is unusually talented in some way


All of the team 7 members were prodigies, Rock Lee was a prodigiy, Neji was a prodigy.

We were referring to the other term of Prodigy, the more defined version. I agree though to an extent.

I see what you mean. But imo, the term prodigy is simply used the wrong way by Kishimoto. People like Naruto who easily adapt stuff have more talent than people such as Sasuke.

- shitt in performing a normal clone

couple hours later

- Master in Tajuu kage bunshin

^^ This dude is unrivaled in talent imo, I would say that the "non-prodigies" in the manga are the real prodigies.

Rock lee = Mastered the 5 gates, something beyond Neji.

Naruto = becoming stronger than Sasuke and equalling Sasuke in skills in matter of couple of days/ months
