Ninja Of War wrote: Yeah, intelligence is a tricky one. It's a tricky one in real life as well. There are many aspects of intelligence, not just the book reading part. Naruto isn't one for tactics but he is an excellent trickster for instance. Namikazenaruto9 wrote: @Killman and @Ninja of War Reckless? No ninja in his right mind would do what A did there. Losing right hand for nothing. His entire fighting style revolves around charging head-first into the enemy regardless of what they throw at him. It's not that strange that he would do the exact same thing to Sasuke. hell, it's like he took it as a challenge.

Was it the best thing to do? probably not. But it's a lot harsher in hindsight (it's clear that Sasuke would never have truly lost, since Zetsu were already present and Obito intervened when he was truly about to die). At the time, he got a chance to hit Sasuke head-on despite his formidable defenses and he took it.
