Overall, who would you say is the most intelligent character in the entire series? I mean in the form of their intelligence as a whole, as well as their wisdom and perception. Feel free to choose any character that you see fit, and if you so please, then explain why. My list is comprised of characters that are either intelligent as a whole, have great wisdom, are very perceptive in battle, or have a mix of the three.

When I think about it, Itachi Uchiha is often the first one that comes to mind for me. I could have picked many other characters, but I do not know enough about them to consider it. Other noteworthy mentions that come to my mind are Orochimaru, Kakashi Hatake, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Nagato Uzumaki, Gaara, Sasuke Uchiha, and Jiraiya.
