Second place: Uchiha Itachi Uchiha Itachi is also a genius. He became famous when he was young. He is a master of shuriken and illusion. Later, it was considered by three generations of Naruto as a powerful ninja. Otherwise, he will not be given the task of genocide. Even after he was awarded Konoha to join Xiao's organization, he was a master in the organization. He even killed orochimaru in a few seconds. In the fourth Ninja War, he even got rid of filth by himself.
Third place: Namikaze Minato Namikaze Minato is a master recognized by Huo Ying and Jiraiya for three generations. He can become the fourth generation of Huo Ying because of his strength. When Kyubi no Youko attacked the village, he solved the crisis by himself. Although he died in the end, it was also because of the plot. In the fourth Ninja War, Namikaze Minato came back to life. At that time, his fighting capacity was no less than that of the second generation Huo Ying. No one should call him a genius.
Fourth place: Kakashi Kakashi was a genius when he first appeared, and he could copy 100 ninja skills. But later, Kakashi's fear and affection when he faced orochimaru were not acts of genius, so his title of genius was not worthy of the name.
Fifth place: JiNing JiNing was a very powerful genius in the first film, probably because he was a supporting actor, and he didn't appear much later. He was even killed in the fourth Ninja War. To be honest, I didn't see JiNing's genius. After all, Jining really didn't fight many wars. In this case, how can he show JiNing's genius?
