I would like to know peoples opinion of who they think are the top 5 smartest people in the HST.

Shikamaru, nuff said ; )

Mayuri and Kisuke.

1. Kisuke


2. Aizen


3. Mayuri


4. Orochimaru


5. Shikamaru

How can people forget Vegapunk?

shikaku shikamaru urahara aizen mayumri in no particular order. off the top of my head

Vegapunk. If he can somehow feed a fruit to an inanimate object, then he has me sold.

Aizen, Zetsu, Mayuri, Urahara and Shikaku.

He's up there. But Kakashi is higher. Have you read the Shikamaru hiden? It's a gold mine, for all Naruto fans, but specifically fans like yourself

@streak619: Naruto often makes idiotic statements. Iirc by feats, I don't think Kakashi is even near Shik in terms of intelligence

It's debatable. But have you read the Shikamaru hiden? I just read it and I know you're gonna love it.

@streak619: I did, it's really great!

Yeah. To think Shikamaru was easily a kage level shinobi.

@streak619: yup. Asuma, Temari & Boruto also said the same thing xD

In order of decreasing intelligence:

1) kisuke

2)Aizen

3) Mayuri

4) Shikamaru

5) Orochimaru

Everyone else pretty much agrees. The three in bleach and the two in naruto
