For me, a genius is something with a lot of inborn talent. It doesn't reflect the strenght of the opponent. Somone who has to work his way to become Genin is not a genius. I don't consider Sasuke, Neji or Lee as geniuses as geniuses because they spent years to reach their levels. Less is even the antithesis of my definition. As opposite, Kakashi was super badass very young (chuunin at 6), but his growth is far from spectacular (there is not much difference between the Kakashi of chapter one and the one of Kakashi Gaiden) So, in my book : Kakashi, Itachi and the sannins (all graduated early IIRC) and Shikamaru (obviously born with his brain, could probably have graduated earlier if this wasn't so "troublesome"). Sasuke, Neji, Lee, Naruto, Sandaime (on that picture, he looked like he was at least 13-14 years old and Nidaime was still patting him) = not geniuses. But they are all among the strongest characters of their age class, if not the strongest. So for me genius <> strong (except for kids obviously) Quote:

That's too lame to be true. How in the hell would Kakuzu run away from Yamato, no chance. Kakuzu has already demonstrated that Kakashi, Yamato or any other from the group have no chance against him, except Naruto of course. Actually Kakuzu would probably be very interested in Yamato's heart too when he sees his bloodline jutsu. There's another possibility connecting to Naruto and Yamato, but i hope that's not true: if Kakuzu got the heart of the 1st hokage, then he can suppress Naruto's kyuubi powers and simply win, and also he would outpower Yamato's wood jutsu with his own wood/forest jutsu.

But it still has not been confirmed at this point. We've had a high amount of fakes this week. Everything from Hidan coming back and then getting killed by Shika. That spoiler was so poorly written it even got Hidan's name wrong. Another one had Kakuzu tentacle raping Ino. |

hehe that's funny... On a more serious note, maybe this is Kishimoto's ways of reminding us that Naruto is the #1 unpredictable ninja? Providing a little bit of comedy since it's been so serious? I don't think it's funny though since I've been waiting to see what changed in Naruto!

-I don't think Mr. Johnny 5 was referring to that. I think he was referring to Naruto's lack of common sense and his inability to understand the basics clearly immedietly, which is what everyone else in the series is capable of doing. Then again Naruto has never been the type to go about his progress in the conventional sense to begin with.

Back to the topic though, Naruto has alot of 'street smarts' although he does has that clumsy side of him.

Well, I wouldn't say that Kakuzu was fighting at his full potential since 2 of the masks were already destroyed. Also, I am sure that there are huge differences in power between Akatsuki members and Hidan and Kakuzu were the weaker ones. I mean, would you say Shikamaru is at Akatsuki level for beating Hidan by himself? I think Hidan is an exemption and so is Kakuzu. 1 on 1, I would think Kakashi would beat Kakuzu.

I would say Kakuzu is pretty powerful. One on one my money is on Kakuzu. Quote:
A lack of perception doesn't always equal a lack of intelligence. Once someone points out something to Naruto he usually does get it then. He really would be dumb if he can't learn when someone points out something to him. So i suppose Smart dumbass would be a good way to describe him. He is smart and talent in some areas and dumb as a rock in others.

It's pointless to compare Shikamaru and Hidan, they are completely different. In the Kakuzu vs Naruto fight i want to see the huge battle experience as a strong point for Kakuzu. He is the oldest known kage level ninja, he was fighting the 1st hokage when all the others (ninja like Chiyo, Sarutobi, Orochimaru,...) didn't even exist. Also it would be cool if his last heart was a bloodline heart, something cool like Kimimaro or the 1st hokage or the 3rd kazekage was. |

Also in this arc, people have been dogging Kakashi but he hasn't even used his MS and his true powers. This arc was made for Shikamaru to shine and for Naruto to use his latest Jutsu. This doesn't mean Kakashi is weak. |
