he is strong, even at a young age, but genius i do not see him as one. Completely denying itachi as a genius makes me wonder....what's wrong you you O____O

Sharingan awakens because of trauma or some kind of emotions. even its growth is related to emotions. you can train the skills you acquire, like he probably did with Genjutsu making him one of the strongest genjutsu user, but awakening of power and advancement of Sharingan is all on emotions. that is why it is called the 'Eye that Reflects the Heart' Exactly, awakening it has nothing here, but the mastery over it does.he mastered it in the same year after awakening i belive.

Nashikeine wrote: >graduating at a young age and becoming ANBU by age of 13 --- if you actually look at profile of older Konoha shinobi, like the Sannin, or the ones of Kakashi's batch they all graduated early. The Sannin graduated at the age of 6, while even Gai who has zero skills in Genjutsu and nInjutsu graduated by the age of 7. by the age 12 or so kakashi's generation were figting in a war, much more than anything Itachi probably was doing. ALso not all ANBU are Jonin level. If you're gonna deny that then Kakashi graduating so early would seem like nonsense then. Besides Itachi would've graduated much earlier but had to face a few drawbacks...his sensei denying his team because itachi's teammates were'nt ready also nine tails attack..stuff like that. Those are just intelligence and strength feats intertwined.
