Ninja Of War wrote: Ok, first off, the whole point of this thread was to determine why users, assume characters like Itachi and Sasuke are by default are smarter than kage. It's because people misunderstood what Hiruzen said. Itachi wasn't smarter than a Hokage. He thought like a Hokage. he put the village above his clan, thought about the big picture, that sort of stuff. He had the wisdom of a hokage. And that didn't stop him from relying on his own power too much and dragging his brother into his problems.
