IE. just because you gave good resources available (such as hax abilities) doesn't mean you can't demonstrate high intelligence, which Itachi has. Thats a very strange example. An ant doesn't have the ability to make a supercomputer. Not just in the "it doesn't know" sense. Ants barely have a brain and mostly cooperate due to smell. On the other hand, you could probably go back 10 000 years or more before humans would be physically incapable of living the modern life. IE if you were to travel back 10 000 years, grab a baby and raise it as your own, the child would grow up to be essentially a modern human.

Go back too far, and early humans would be unable to comprehend our modern life.

But that doesn't really apply to the Sharingan. By definition it gives more information to the user, so if two equivalent people did a task and one had a Sharingan, then by definition the Sharingan user would make better decisions. A normal person can't see chakra, so if you wanted to teach a Ninjutsu a normal person may have to be shown multiple times. But a Sharingan user only needs to see it once, and then they could copy it retroactively. The Sharingan can see chakra, and any movement. Sasuke starts seeing fast movements of Naruto easily when his Sharingan improves, despite the fact that moments earlier he was helpless.

Itachi was never said to be smarter than the Kage, nor were the Kage said to be universally smart. Well thanks for the analysis on the ant exmaple, but i don't see how it detracts from the point. My point is that having hax abilities in of itself isn't enough to neuter someone's intelligence. Again, give SHIKAMARU susanoo, nine tails, and hashirama chakra reserves and I believe his intelligence will still show, but now he can probably just overpower people without having to strategize as much.

AGAIN dude, i am fully aware of the sharingan's abilities, yet i have still brought up feats of intelligence that don't involve the use of sharingan. Dude, we have seen itachi use tactics that did not directly invoke the use of his sharingan many times. Like do I seriously need to recite all of them ????

And at least, thank you for admitting that the kages aren't some universally intelligent group
