Hey, what about the Third Hokage?
Praised as the God of Shinobi.
Was equal to Orochimaru, despite being much older.
Trained the Legendary Trio.


I say he's qualified. =D

Of course he is but judging by what Mikey wrote it looks like he is looking for people with blood line limits if tha's the case then sasrutobi don't qualify but haku should definitely be included and what's up with tsunade you guys put her no blood line but you don't put haku he would be far stronger than her if he was alive.

UchihaTaijiya

Well, I don't know if that's Mikey's intention... but a bloodline limit does not make a genius.

Tsunade is on the list because she's THE medical ninja, the fifth Hokage, and she can never die in battle. Besides that, she's a woman.

And I don't know if Haku would be stronger than Tsunade if he were still alive, but I can definitely imagine him around Naruto and Sasuke's level.

Sarutobi is definetly a genius, wan't he appointed Hokage at a very young age. that to me makes him a genius ;P and Haku should be a genius

No he would exceed kakashi and tsunade think about it he already had 2 elements down at only 12 years old sasuke does not even have 2 nor does naruto plus haku with those two combined was able to control and make hyuuton something that only is in his blood line his speed cannot be tracked by the human eye and he would only become faster his sushinn jutsu was a bit slower than sasuke's so on the contrary he would be stronger than tsunade,naruto,kakashi,he would rival sasuke if not surpass him.

UchihaTaijiya

*shuffles* If it were up to me, everyone would be on the list. Because I consider someone who reaches their level by hard work to be just as much a genius as someone who is naturally gifted. XD

But that's not exactly the definition given in the Naruto series nor is it the stance that this FC takes. Soooo... yeah.

But the Third and Haku, they're definitely geniuses. By my definition and the one in the series.

Yes i suppose sarutobi is who else can become hokage at the age of what it appered to be 12 abosolutley nobody.

JustPimpin

Haku should be one that list for sure. Even Kakashi was amazed by his skill. If Kakashi's on that list, then so should Hauke be!

Pffft!

Not sure about that lol. If they're actually labeled as geniuses, and not just over powered, then sure.

Sure.

:-|

Most likely because of his versatility.

True. But he WAS the Hokage, going up against a Sannin. A true Hokage shouldn't have just been equal to a Sannin. They should be flat out better.

Dunno. I'm very iffy about Sarutobi.

Not true. Kakashi only has a bloodline limit because it was given to him. It's technically not his bloodline limit. Also, Tsunade has no BL either. But, let's be real here. Some of the geniuses in Naruto, some of the stronger ones, happen to have bloodline limits.

Not my intention at all lol If it were, I would've named this FC the Bloodline Limit FC. I'm looking for straight up geniuses, bloodline limits or not.

I've been very busy lately, but I'd be very grateful if some of you guys can do me a huge favor and PM me some images for some new banners to add to the list. I've made some decisions and, the new additions to the Genius List are:

-Shikamaru (Yes I know he isn't the strongest, but he single handedly defeated an Akatsuki member, and frankly, I believe he's smarter than ANYONE in the Naruto series. His intelligence and strategy easily make up for his lack of physical power and chakra capacity in my book)

-Haku (I don't need to explain this one lol)

That's all for now. I'm still kind of iffy about Sasori and Kabuto, though.

I'd like it if you guys can dig me up some face shots of Shikamaru and Haku, along with some images of them using their trademarks. Maybe for Shika, he should be working his shadow magic, and Haku should be working his ice magic. I'm not asking for many images, just a few, and they should be clear and not very pixelated. If you guys can do that for me (I don't have as much time to post at NL as before), that would be great. Just send me a PM with the links or images, and I'll get to work on the banners.

Woah, that's a doozy of a post Mikey. Well, I second Haku's induction into the list wholeheartedly.

IgniteDestiny

Hello all, can I please join this FC?

Sarutobi is definitely a genius. But there is a problem with putting him on the list. If we would put him, then all other Hokages definitely deserve to be there as well. Not everyday someone becomes a Hokage. Yondaime was surely a genius, but we don't know much about him, so we can't put him up there.
I know that the only Hokage who has been nicely introduced is Sarutobi, but it's still debatable if we should have him on the list.

MikeyM1979

Really? O_O

Hm. Maybe I'm underestimating him. The one thing he has shown me that impressed me was his versatility with jutsu's. It would've been cool to have learned more about his past.

Sarutobi is a genius he has knowledge to all the jutsu in konoha and over 1000 jutsu himself and how many people become a hokage at the age of i would say 10 no one really and he was trained by the shodaime,and nidaime hokage. He can use elemental fusions he has knowledge to every element he really is a genius.

Ya'll should have put haku before you even put tsunade he would be much stronger than she is if he was still alive.

Shrike

Why not? He was called the God of Shinobi, and knew every jutsu in Konoha. This man was 70+ years old when he fought Orochimaru + two ex-Hokages. He did die, but if he was younger, he would have died along with them all, even Orochimaru stated that. Not everyone can reach a Hokage level. Some of the people we have on our list are not Hokage material, you have to be gifted enough to even reach that level. And even those 'gifted' may not be able to become a Hokage. Who knows how many jutsus has he invented, elemental and otherwise, that we do not know about.
