I'm not a huge fan of that statement.
Considering the fact that hundreds of people witnessed first hand the level of intelligence that Shikamaru displayed a few years back at the Chuunin exams, he has proven his intelligence.
Given the fact that age sometimes work against you in battle both physically and mental acuity, it should not come as a surprise that Shikamaru holds such a high ranking position.
However, I do question some of the other youthful leaders without pointing out names.
