Sasuke surpassed Madara Uchiha at the age of 17, he is a prodigy according to your statement.

No i im sorry but you can not pick and choose a fraction of an entire statement. by pointing out the age of 17 you have to read the entire statement. a prodigy is someone who masters a skill as a child. thats not the same thing as a genius. generally speaking a genius is someone who is just all around good. for instance you can be a prodigy as a child but that doesn't mean you are going to grow up to be a genius. thats why they call it the tragedy of a prodigy(ie a person who as a child was a prodigy but grows up to be less than genius) so yes Sasuke is a genius NOW but never was a prodigy. the fact is never once was he referred to as a prodigy the only people ever refereed to as prodigy's were itachi, orochimaru, and minato
