I would consider Itachi the biggest prodigy. He is second to only minato in class scores. He was the youngest anbu and anbu captain. Anbu ranks higher than a jonin. He was'nt promoted just because there was a war going on. His sharingan was awakened at 10 and MS at 13. Hiruzen told his mindset and mentality was that of a hokage ,even at the age of seven. Even as far as ninjas go, he was almost a prefect one. Ninjas even like minato or kakashi would hestitate when asked to go against their own for the sake of the village or good, Itachi without hesitation killed his clan. He could decipher ninjutsu working with seconds like how he did to hidan's sacrifice technique or chikbaku tensei. His strategic skill was enough to consider putting a amaterasu script in sasuke's eye to protect him from obito and giving koto to Naruto ,to change sasuke's mind. He thought and made contingency plans for Sasuke. This all Itachi accomplished with a disease in his lungs and could bever reach his true potential. Itachi did not even live as long as minato ,and was in akatsuki, where he could never live a life without fear of getting attacked as he was a criminal. With age he would have become more powerful, if he wasn't a criminal and was in a village,he could achieved more than anyone else. Hell he was tied with jiraiya with highest score in databook.
