Smartest Naruto Character?

Who do you think is the smartest Naruto character?

I MIGHT think Kakashi, Shikamaru, or Shino, but really its anyones game... (Well probably not Choji... ) Oh no wait! Maybe Asuma! Argh! I dont know! You?

I think kakashi and Shikamaru are very smart. it seems that Tobi is clever too, he is a bad guy in Naruto, though.

Naruto is the smartest man ,you know .he save many badass by his talking`````````````````````

yeah, i like your answer, that's called jutsu--speaking
hope he can appear in naruto 585 talk with tobi to let him to take off his mask

Shikamaru, lol is that even a real question? Hands down Shikamaru is the smartest, he's better than most of the older ninja - just think of when he's that age and has that experience!

Shika's father is the smartest.......................................... ..........................

i agree shikaku nara is curently the smartest shinobi. thats why he's the #1 advisor in the war, even received praise from leader of new shinobi army, the raikage.

To me (Good or Evil) is:

Sasuke (even though he kind of have his hardheaded moments)
Kisame
Sasori-no-dana
Kakuzu
Lord Orochimaru (To an extent)
Pein
Konan
Naruto (I see him more as a sacrificial character than a smart ash.. But some things he does is quite on the smart side)
Gaara before he hit puberty
Shikamaru
Kakashi
Shikamaru's Dad
Pervy Sage
Itachi
Zetsu (He is smart, not a lot of people really take him into consideration unless its being a cannibal or the fact that he can separate both of his halves when in battle.. Its rare though..)
Tobi

Again this is who I think is quite smart, to an extent of course...
