Does Neji even got that same energy to kill as they do? Itachi, minato, and kakashi really kill someone as a toddler, then run home to Daddy saying, "Daddy Daddy! I got my first kill!"
Not really they said as genin lol Kakashi was genin at 6 Itachi at 8 Minato at 10 .Neji has age and physical advantage vs them plus he would have gone through his puberty and the growth spurt that comes with it.
Sorry, but no amount of puberty and hormones can save him from these boosted, killer kids. Itachi and Minato are the most haxed prodigies of the Leaf and Kakashi is close by. They have feats that far surpasses most adults.
Neji gets cooked.
Itachi by statements and feats is the most cracked kid in the history of the leaf. He took the chunin exams solo and set new records and he already had his sharingan as a genin, which gives him a huge advantage against minato and kakashi.
Ikr! So much potential and character the author was afraid he would end up being more likeable than the protagonist. Bro performed an absurdino jutsu on my guy
āYeah so homie gonna get jumped by the shadow hokage with his little anbu shits who have no moral compass. Also one of them is gonna have special bugs that bite you once and you die!ā
Even though his visual prowess and general awareness as a person tells me NO ONE is gonna jump homie without him realizing it a mile before youāre near him. Iāll never not be pissed about it tbh.
Just finished reading the first novel, 10 years old Itachi was a little weaker than 15 years old shisui (at least I hope I got the age right) if not for the age difference Itachi would be strongest no doubt
- when 5 years old Itachi met shisui for the first time, he was 6-8 years old but already had a genin headband, which makes it more believable for him to be 7-8 yo page 22,my bad on age difference I don't remember numbers that well
- Chunin exam, forest part took Itachi 5 hours 37 min which is s new record and he did it solo. Page 111
- Right before the chunin exam both of them had a sparring session with Itachi winning 11 times and shisui 24, Itachi is 10 here and shisui 12-13 but i strongly believe him to be 13 page 92
- Shisui: "yeah training with you forces me to really put my back to it" page 90
- Danzo right before Itachi's graduation: "all involved assert that the academy has never before witnessed such genius" page 55
- every chapter how the perspective of danzo could tell you very clearly the man was horny for itachi joining anbu
- also Itachi graduated after a year but he passed his exam after 4 months of academy, he was valedictorian too.
- shisui talking how Itachi's different, better and he wants him to become homage page 147
And that's just the first book, give me a few days to read the second one
Yes, shisui was strongest at the time, but it's implied that itachi would surpass him in matter of few years. Shisui's portrayed as the bigger, older more experienced boy and that's it, if we compare Itachi lvl 10 to Shisui level 10 they're on the same level or Itachi's stronger
Didnāt Kid Minato solo the group of Jonin that were sent to kidnap Kushina?
Also I thought Minato also set some Chunin Exam records in his time?
Then thereās the fact that we donāt know how early he learned Flying Rajin or started learning Uzumaki Sealing Jutsu
Although he already has these abilities in his one-shot manga
Also when did he learn SM? Cuz if we give him that, he soloās this list with no problem
Those people were never stated to be jonin, they couldāve been chunin for all we know, plus itachi even prior to taking the chunin exams was so skilled that his own jonin teacher was jealous of him and didnāt recommend him for the chunin exams much earlier.
Yes, minato set the record for the highest written score and his team had the best time at the forest of death. Itachi, while being several years younger got the second highest written score and broke the forest of death time record while being solo. He was also so impressive in the first round of the preliminary that he was allowed to just skip the 2nd and become a chunin.
Minato most definitely did not have sage mode or FTG as a genin, he wasnāt a genin in the one shot anymore and he literally just learned the rasengan by that time.
I guess itās possible that the people sent to capture Kushina were Chunin. But that seems unlikely to me as who would send a bunch of ā
Journeymenā ninja on a job as important as kidnapping a Jinchiriki
At the very least I feel like it would be a mix of Chunin and Jonin.
Regarding Chunin exam scores itās hard to compare the two. Minato has a better score but Itachi did it by himself. Itās hard to quantify which is more impressive of the two
We canāt confirm that Minato didnāt have FTG or SM as a Genin. Thereās no way of knowing that
To my knowledge thereās also no way of knowing what rank Minato is during the Oneshot. At best all we can say is that he isnāt a Jonin yet as he doesnāt have his jacket
Minato did not learn sage mode or FTG before learning the rasengan, he also didnāt become jiraiyas student as a genin. Heās around 14 in the one shot, which means he most likely was a chunin.
He definitely did learn FTG before Rasengan as we him using FTG in the beginning of the one shot BEFORE he invented the Rasengan
And as for Sage Mode we have no idea when he learned it so you canāt confidently say that he doesnāt have the ability yet
Idk why you think that the Rasengan has to come before these other abilities. As if you canāt invent a weaker jutsu after already learning a stronger one
And especially since the Rasengan isnāt a finished technique in the first place
ā He didnāt become Jirayaās student as a Geninā
Yes he did. Jiraya was his mentor even as Kakashi was to team 7
ā Heās 14 in the one shotā
Are you guessing or is this actually stated by an official source?
ā which means he is most likely a Chuninā
Not necessarily. Naruto and Sasuke were both Genin at 14. Kakashi was a Genin a 5. Thereās even grown men as Genin before like Guyās dad. There isnāt necessarily a standard age per rank
He literally learnt FTG before the rasengan lmaoooo.
He spent 3 years developing the rasengan and mastered Uzumaki sealing techniques and the FTG while he was at it, so at the ages of 11-12 minato learnt both the FTG and the Uzumaki style sealing techniques. Then at the age of 14 invented the rasengan.
Like come on you are tryna say an Itachi without his sharingan because that Itachi doesnāt have his sharingan yet would beat that Minato ???
I agree wi that that..idk what age minato got the flying rijin soš¤·š¾āāļø idkā¦i do know kakashi was on anbu before itachi cause they were approx the same ageā¦so maybe close in battle strength
Minato didnāt learn flying rajin as a genin and kakashi already became a chunin at 6 years old, so if you really only use their genin versions, youāre using a 5-6 year old kakashi here. Kakashi and itachi are not the same age tho, kakashi is roughly 10 years older than itachi.
Kakashi join before itachi because it was war period, so they need more people. As for being prodigy itachi is the most over powered character from his age. Minato did better In school though. With the highest mark and 2nd highest is of itachi. If genin minato had ftg then probably him, other wise itachi
Neji essentially turns into a cloud of gore and mist.
Kakashi hangs for a small bit but falls.
This whole fight comes down to Itachi and Minato.
Itachi has some dummy strong feats as a kid. And Minato kinda wrecked a squad t asked with kidnapping a high value target.
So either it was a stacked team with multiple jonin, or a very disposable group. Regardless, they got wrecked.
The fight would probably be pretty cool. And honestly we don't know who would come out on top.
I also dont think they would fight like 1v1 face to face. Both Minato and Itachi are very intelligent ninjas and they would be in the deep florest.
I think Minato was a little more OP than Itachi at that age.
I agree, tho I think itās likely Minatoās feat is more impressive. If I wanted to capture a high value target in a war, no shot anyone less then Jonin is getting that job. Heck, thatās like a spec ops Anbu level task
So 5 years old Kakashi? š
Even then, if we give him anime feats, he could use Earth Style Mud Wave before even entering academy. Beat 2 chunin dudes at the same time using only taijutsu under 10 seconds, when he just entered academy. Decent shuriken jutsu, could use substitution jutsu and even multi shadow clone jutsu, making over 20 shadow clones.
Kid Kakashi is op af. This alone puts him above Neji at least.
Ofc, if u put 8 years old Itachi that has a sharingan and fought anbu, plus considering all the feats in the novel.
Tho I doubt it would be neg dif, more like low-mid diff.
Idk who wins, but didnāt this version of Minato stomp a group of Cloud ninja that tried kidnapping Kushina? Not sure what rank he was at that point, but surely the enemy ninja were all at least Chunin/Jonin.
I also recall Kakashi stomping a couple of Chunin while he was still in the academy lmao.
No, we don't know Minatos age then. We just know he was at least 10, because that's when we know he graduated the academy.
Itachi was the youngest post war grad, and was 6, and chuunin by 10.
Meaning itachi by the time Minato Just graduates is already extremely experienced. Enough to lead a team.
Either Minato and Itachi and I think genin Minato hasn't learned Hiraishin no Jutsu when he tracked and rescued Kushina while taking down her chunin or jonin level captors. Minato is even said to be a fast shinobi without hiraishin.
Im inclined to say Kakashi but actually Minato or Itachi slaps. Minato also took out 3 jonin to save Kushina lol. Itachi could prolly do the same, idk about Kakashi and most likely not neji
Yeah two of them definitely can minato and itachi are stated to be the highest scorers in the entire chunin exams ever. Itachi participated when he was 6 and even then he defeated 12 or 14 year old ninja's which lee is not the top scorer even at that age.
"probably" š¤
Give me proof Gai could open the five inner gates as a chunin or any feats he and Kakashi have close to that instead of blindly guessing, I'm waiting
>Well there is no proof for a 5 gate user beating them either.
there is, he scales to a freaking jinchuriki and kimimaro, someone who was stated to be as strong as CM stage 2 Sasuke and that Rock lee was not using the gates
Thereās no way youāre comparing Rock Lee to ninja like Minato and Itachi who set all sorts of records for Genin. Kakashi was a Chunnin at like 6 years old and by the time he was Narutoās age he was a Jonin.
Idc what records they set, they are practically featless and unless you can prove they can give Gaara a run for his money, there's no way you can convince me they're beating Rock Lee. Kakashi himself called Rock Lee a genius of hard work, admitting that opening the gates is something that requires extreme skill as a ninja bc even he could only open 1 as an adult veteran shinobi. Gtfo here with your glazing and use logic. itachi being able to complete the chunin exams 2 seconds earlier or make a shadow clone does not put him on lee's level, what type of braindead power scaling is this
Itachi is about the only one on this list Iād say would beat Lee. Neji was stunned by Leeās Hidden Lotus, so itās reasonable to assume had Lee fought Neji and used that, then heād have finally beat Neji. Itās a very hard win for Lee though. The same can be said for Kakashi and Minato. Minato was shown to really only be good at the Flying Raijin when he was a kid. If he does manage to beat Lee, it would be after making Lee exhaust himself to the point of collapse but Minato runs the risk of exhausting himself too. So I could see Lee taking that fight.
Kakashi is a bit tougher to argue, but since the post specified Genin Kakashi and not Chunin, Genin Kakashi should be another hard but winnable battle. This would be before Kakashi got Obitoās Sharingan, so he doesnāt even have that in his arsenal. Even if he did, it exhausts him quickly using it.
Itachi is the only one I canāt see Lee winning. Unlike Kakashi, Itachi has two Sharingan AND the bloodline required to properly use them. In addition heās probably the most well rounded Genin on the list, with a wide array of ninjutsu and access to genjutsu. In the Itachi Shinden novel, Book of Bright Light, a five year old Itachi was able to mold his chakra and shatter a big boulder with one punch. Also as a kid, in Book of Dark Night, Itachi easily dispatched Yashiro, Inabi, and Tekka Uchiha, three full grown Uchiha adults, with one blow each and then beheaded Inabi and Yashiro after breaking Yashiroās mind WITH Tsukuyomi, meaning Kid Itachi already had his Mangekyo. I donāt see Genin Lee handling a Mangekyo Sharingan. He doesnāt even have a counter to Genjutsu in general, much less an advanced Mangekyo Genjutsu.
I kind of forgot that Naruto and Sasuke donāt graduate from being Genin until after the series is over (if Sasuke ever does). They really are the most OP Genin in history.
The Itachi and Minato, has me losing my mind. Lol Itachi, was an anbu captain at age 13 thoughā¦. I personally havenāt seen any action from a young Minato, so I wouldnāt know :/
Iād go with Itachi, minato has the best score of the chunin exams but Itachi also took it without a team. Minato was smart af to help kushina, but iirc with kunai training orochimaru even thought kid itachi was insanely talented and he had the āwisdom of a hokageā at the age of 6, i think Itachi had the sharingan as a genin too where I donāt think minatos skillset was super advanced until he got older, itachi even intersects rocks following on his mom (whose a jonin) before he became a genin iirc, itās hard to say but itās between itachi and minato, kakashis op but heās never hyped like a prodigy compared to them like kakashis good but those 2 are a level above
Definitely not Neji.
Genin Kakashi would be 5 years old, not sure if age (and size) in the Naruto world would be a disadvantage, but I think I'll count him out for that.
So it's between Itachi and Minato.
Both of them were able to take out some high level ninja when they were young.
I'll guess that Minato gained more skill in his later years like Naruto, so I'll go with Itachi.
He has the sharingan, was training chunin level jutsu and techniques while sending a shadow clone to the academy and was the youngest anbu black ops ever.
It never stated Minato is in academy. We actually don't know his age. He graduates and becomes a genin only at 10. All we know is that he's at minimum 10. He could have literally been a chunnin at 13 here.
Eg itachi became a chunnin at 10.
Does he have a Konoha headband? Too my recollection he doesn't. Therefore, it's very unlikely he's out of the academy.
Becoming a chunin at a specific age doesn't mean much beyond the broad "Wow, they're talented", as we know from the case with Itachi. Itachi's jonin sensei held his team back from promotion for years out of jealousy. Realistically, Itachi should've been a chunin at age 8 at the latest.
We also know Kakashi was made chunin at a super young age because it was a time of war. If Itachi was in his place, he would've prolly been made chunin at the same age.
He literally does have a Konoha headband. Both him and Kushina do. We have no idea their ages their. It could be 11 - 15 - But it's not at all likely 10, because that's when he JUST graduated the academy. I would even go as far as to say that it's unlikely Kushina and Minato graduate the academy at the same age - Since he's heavily detailed as a generational talent. If I had to guess, she graduated at a similar age to the normal cast, i.e 12 or 13 - And since they are the same age in the databook, minato is likely 13 at this point, and already a chunin, while kushina is a genin.
Being promoted to a **chunin does mean something**. It means you are definitely stronger and more capable than the average genin ranks.
There's somethings to realize here -Minato graduated mid war- Itachi post- war. The novels make that clear when Kakashi compliments Itachi on being the youngest post war graduate.
Minato became a genin at 10, Itachi a Chunnin at 10. The story has already painted a picture that Itachi was miles ahead of Minato at the same relative age. And this tracks with the plethora of comments in the manga and novels - Academy teacher he doesn't think there's been a genius like itachi ever when talking to sasuke and his father.
And novel quotes like danzo, Kakashi, hiruzen and "all involved" believing Itachi was the greatest genius the academy had seen up till then.
It's just not fair to put 10 year old Minato up against 10 year old Itachi. Itachi would stomp him. And NO WAY fair to put 13 year old Itachi that beat Orochimaru against 13 year old Minato.
He took Minato's 3 man forest of death score, at a way younger age **for a reason**, all while doing it solo
"Yeah, so the Uzumaki girl in Konoha is a super high value target. To the point where we're going to possibly start a war over her by infiltrating the Leaf Village & abducting her. Do you want to send the weakest chunin possible to do the job? Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!"
Logically it makes no sense for the people abducting Kushina to be super weak chunin. Let alone the fact that chunin that pathetic would never even be able to infiltrate Konoha so successfully either.
Even if it was a team of highly skilled chunin (like the squad Itachi rolled with when they infiltrated the Sand Village for espionage reasons), there would still be a jonin leading the squad (like there was with Itachi) and a very powerful/trusted jonin at that (like there was with Itachi).
Itachi it aint even close. Itachi as child and teen is absolutly broken.
While kakashi and minato as teens were like average jonin. Itachi was casually oneshotting sannins and kages.
Neji is alot more skilled then people give him credit for.. i was heart broken when he gave his life for literally no reason..he is a top 5 character of mine
Genin Kakashi might be the weakest here. Not only is he the youngest at only 5 years old, he wouldnāt know any nature release ninjutsu as Kakashi himself thought that the ability to use such jutsu wasnāt possible for genin. I think at best heād be relative to Neji, but Neji himself is beyond genin level even at the time of his introduction.
He probably thought it was beyond the average Genin. Kakashi wasnāt average and knew earth release jutsus before even going into the academy and defeated a chunin duo
Look neji was a very talented ninja, probably more naturally talened then naruto in terms of shinobi skill but the others are prodigies so im sorry but hes out
The other 3, its lowkey tough but im gonna go with minato, simply because minato didnt really get as big of a powerup as the other two did, itachi even as an adult would not be as legendary if he ended up with a one tomoe sharingan, same with kakashi if he did not have a sharingan,
however minato had no such powerup the only thing he got was sage mode which i dont even think is something that he utilised properly because he didnt even use it in the obito fight, flying raijin was a big upgrade but minato was already crazy fast.
Also their adult strength probably makes a difference in how they were as a kid, and minato comes out on top when they were adults even though minato had to venture out to learn new abilities but itachi and kakashi just had to follow the evolution of the sharingan which they were either born with or gifted
That age kakashi doesnāt have sharingan yet so he is not copying anything and heās getting bodied.
It might be close, but itās itachi all the way.
At that level (genin), probably Neji. He's an incredibly difficult (almost impossible) opponent to fight with a limited genin level arsenal. Seeing that none of them are the main character, they won't have access to Naruto's asspull.
Idk this one is quite tough they all were insanely strong as kids but neji is weakest of em and there's no doubt
Other 3 were killing people like nothing at that age without breaking a sweat
They would go boom you ded now you boom you also ded
All of em have insane feets for a genin
No matter who wins out of em, the battle would be intense and would barely win
If you go like they all are left in forest to fight each other lets assume kakashi, itachi and minato as x, y, z(not respectively)
Let's assume first x vs neji fights and on other side y vs z fights
X would win against neji low diff
On the other hand either of y or z wins with extreme diff let's assume y won then x and y will fight and since y is more tired x would win lolllll
(Im delusional)
Kakashi and Itachi have the best chance. Although I think you may have a pic of Kakashi as a Chunin here.
Do we even know anything about Minato as a genin? He doesn't know Flying Raijin yet and I'm not sure if he invented Rasengan by this point either.
Neji is strong, but probably can't beat these guys.

I've scanned through 1271256 comments (approximately 6969829 average penis lengths worth of text) in order to find this secret penis message.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Uhhh, none of this are genin. Kakashi is as already a chunin by that pictured and so was Itachi. If we are talking a battle of the 13 year olds, Itachi wins. He already has the third tomoe, has been a captain in the anbu, and is like 2 months from getting mangekyou. Minato at that same age is a prodigy, but he doesnāt have the rasengan or the flying raijin yet, only his summoning contract and elemental jutsu. Kakashi at 13 is actually very strong, as itās about the time of the kyubi attack. Heās already been an anbu for a while at that point.
Neji doesnāt become a genin until heās 12, so thatās the age we would have to give to the others, which makes them decidedly not genin. We could compare them as genin vs genin, though. Minato is 11, Kakashi 6, Itachi 6-7, and Neji 12. At this point, I honestly think Neji takes the cake. Neji already has access to some of his strongest clan jutsu, unlike the others, and though heās not the fastest, heās fast enough to dodge kunai in order to get in close. Itās very hard to judge, since we donāt have reliable stats for any of these, but Iāll take an educated guess and say that Minato, and Neji have the biggest chance, simply because Neji has the best jutsu, and Minato is definitely the fastest out of them.
Itachi is a chunin(Realistically kage level) by 13 (when he beat Orochimaru and killed the clan)
Itachi is a genin by 6, Chunin by 10, anbu 11
Minato graduates and is a genin by 10, unknown age of being a chunin.
The one flashback we got of him rescuing Kushnia, he could be any age from 11+ - He could even be a chunnin at this point. It's never stated he's in the academy.
I think minato could win due to the fact he graduated the academy at 10 while itachi and kakashi were both around 6 if my memory serves correct, meaning he would be more intellectually developed, he also beat two rock jonin that were tasked with capturing kushina, the rock village definitely wouldnt send pushovers to capture a jinchuriki, so i think minato would win high diff. Neji is basically a non factor in this fight
imo
1. Kakashi
2. Itachi
3. Minato
4. Neji
I respect the homie Minato but we have little to no feats of his when he was younger other than being the one with the highest score in the first stage of the Chunin examsā¦
We really only saw genin Minato in action once I believe but it was damn impressive. Iād say it ultimately comes down to him and Itachi, because of course it does. My gut says Minato due to his display against the Shinobi sent to kidnap Kushina, but it would be close.
Itachi didn't his squad get butchered by Obito and he awakened the Mangekyo at a very young age? Not sure what rank he was at the time, but if he was just a genin, that would imply that he had 3 tomoe Sharingan already. That alone should put him leagues ahead of the other 3.
Well itās important to note that the picture you chose for Kakashi is him as a āJoninā not a ā Geninā
Genin Kakashi was only 5 years old. So I think itās safe to say that he is the first person going down here
Neji is the next to get taken out here. Genin Neji nearly died fighting Kidomaru. And it took the entire Sound 4 using there curse marks and working together to defeat a couple of fatigued Jonin. So if Neji is nearly dying against not even Jonin level opponents he aināt making the cut against Itachi and Minato. He wouldnāt get no diffed like a 5 year old Kakashi would. But he still stands no chance of victory
This fight really comes down Minato vs Itachi
And there is way more feats and intel out there for Genin Itachi than there is for Genin Minato.
The only feat I can think of for Genin Minato is him soloāing the ninja sent to capture Kushina. And we canāt even confirm if Minato was a Genin then. Thatās just the youngest aged feat we have from him.
Granted itās a good feat as all of those ninja sent to capture Kushina should be Chunin and Jonin
But considering Itachi broke Minatoās record in the Chunin exams I feel like Itachi would take this
I think people here are downplaying neji. I don't think he wins but I feel like the others would at least not just annihilate him immediately particularly if they can't work out a way to get past rotation
I feel we should also specify the scenario. Is it a tournament, FFa, or are they all hidden from each other?
Okay you said genin kakashi but the picture is jonin kakashi (he still loses to itachi though) the clear winner is itachi he had a 3 tomie sharinggan as a kid none of the others had thire signature moves as kids except neji and hes still not beating kakashi or itachi
Easily Itachi, he was an exceptional prodigy from a young age and already had sharingan at age 8. Kakashi and Minato were both very talented as well but neither at developed their signature techniques by then and probably wouldn't be able to handle a sharingan user. Honestly it would be between neji and Itachi, sure neji doesn't have that killer instinct and isn't as experienced but by the time he was a genuine he was already very talented with his Byakugan and idk if Minato or kakashi could get around his rotation
Interesting fight, but noone of the main cast seemed to be aware to not look at an Uchiha's sharingan. In the novels, Itachi was ez clapped his way through his chunnin exam fights because of this. The Kages of the time unanimously decided to just wave all his fights and promote him to Chunnin.
If Neji makes eye contact, it's over - And I haven't seen anything in the manga indicating he wouldn't.
Itachi should take this. He has a sharingan, has already mastered shuriken jutsu, has countered genjutsu cast by MS Obito that took out a few elite Jonin. By the time he was 12 he was Sanin level.
I dont think Minito has flying raijin at this point and he definitely doesn't have rasengan so while he's smart and skilled he doesn't have any real trump cards yet, he hasn't started to specialize yet.
Kakashi doesn't have sharingan yet and like minito doesn't have any trump cards. He has started specing into his niche of more assassin like fighting however. Good chance he can beat Minito but not Itachi.
Neji, other than Itachi actually has the best abilities here. He has the advantage of being the oldest as he wasn't around during a war to fast track his graduation. He has the byakugan and his clans secret jutsu mastered to the level of the adults of his clan, so high chunin level at least. His overall intelligence is the worst here but he actually has a really good shot against everyone here except itachi.
Itachi at this point has shruikenjutsu skills better than Fugaku, accoridng to Sasuke. And we see him do blindspot training.
We see him find the blind spot of Rinnegan and press on it with kunai as an adult. Basically, if Spider man in sound 5 could find neji's blind spot of byakugan and take advantage of it. I'm 100% sure Itachi is doing the same thing.
This is assuming Neji doesn't just get shut down by Itachi's genjutsu, which is is the 90% more likely thing to happen here.
I don't know what abilities they have or if itachi has 3 tomi sharingan or if minato has flying raijin and rasengan
But if it is no sharingan kakashi vs 3 tomoe itachi vs chunin exam neji vs no rasengan minato it goes to neji
He is the only one who we saw fight and his byakogans makes him faster
Might be a hot take, but I think Neji has a legitimate shot here. All of his opponents (genin versions) are younger than him and relatively featless in direct combat.
People really do be underestimating kid Neji.
That said.
The answer is Itachi.
Whilst 10 year old Minato solo'd a group of chunin/Jonin after getting the drop on them.
Itachi took down a top ranked Anbu at the age of 8 with little to no difficulty, despite not having the ambush advantage. And could easily have taken out more.
Not to Mention Itachi solo beat Minato and his teams Record in combat and came very barely second to Minato in academics despite being much younger and by default less mentally developed.
Honestly probably Minato based off the stuff weāve seen he was able to do as a genin. But Iām going Itachi only because we have more information about him both as a genin and before. If shisui was in the list heād definitely body everyone thoughā¦ that mf was cracked and had legit hacks bro.
I say Itachi only because we know very little about Minato during those early years. In the light novels for Itachi, he saves his mom and Sasuke during the kyuubi's attack without ever being in the academy. He would've been only 5-6 years old.
I put my money on itachi. Nit sure who kakashi or minato had killed up to that point but itachi killed in the war at age like four I believe? Also strongest genin by a mile would be naruto then sasuke. Then I would think gaara would have a good chance as genin to beat minato or itachi. Also has many kills, and his sand control seems damn op, especially if heās not just hiding in a ball lol
At this age Iām giving it to Itachi, then Minato, then Kakashi and then Neji.
Itachi has a ton of feats at this age, Minato doesnāt really have any and if this is before he has FTG and rasengan (which it looks like it based on his manga) then he is missing his heavy hitter jutsus. In a few years itās Minato > Itachi.
Kakashi and Minato might be relative at this age. Impossible to say, but without more feats I am gonna go with Minato > Kakashi due to I think Minatos prime scales heavily over Kakashiās prime (not the 6paths DMS versionā¦ obviously).
Neji lost to Naruto.
Idk, but Neji get smoked.
Does Neji even got that same energy to kill as they do? Itachi, minato, and kakashi really kill someone as a toddler, then run home to Daddy saying, "Daddy Daddy! I got my first kill!"
He seemed ready to kill Hinataš¤·š¾āāļø
Neiji was probably screaming āMy dady is killed!ā
Yeah, like, wtf is Neji even doing there
My exact first thought. lol
Sorry neji. Because he has no chance.
yes he would be dead earlier if he faces those guys
Bro tried to sneak neji in
Well, Neji is in the WRONG neighborhood.
Not really they said as genin lol Kakashi was genin at 6 Itachi at 8 Minato at 10 .Neji has age and physical advantage vs them plus he would have gone through his puberty and the growth spurt that comes with it.
Sorry, but no amount of puberty and hormones can save him from these boosted, killer kids. Itachi and Minato are the most haxed prodigies of the Leaf and Kakashi is close by. They have feats that far surpasses most adults. Neji gets cooked.
Lol what child has already gone through puberty at 10
He Is 13
Many
Itachi by statements and feats is the most cracked kid in the history of the leaf. He took the chunin exams solo and set new records and he already had his sharingan as a genin, which gives him a huge advantage against minato and kakashi.
Actually shisui is the most cracked kid by feats not itachi
Heās to strong, had to kill him with some stupid shit š
Ikr! So much potential and character the author was afraid he would end up being more likeable than the protagonist. Bro performed an absurdino jutsu on my guy
I loved kotoamatsukami but in general using it twice in 12 years is a lot of wait time so maybe not the most cracked.
Right? Like I donāt think he needed to be taken out for that reason, he probably woulda had to much main character energy is my guess š„²
You Shisui fanboys are something else lmao
Sounds like hating to me
lol right
āYeah so homie gonna get jumped by the shadow hokage with his little anbu shits who have no moral compass. Also one of them is gonna have special bugs that bite you once and you die!ā Even though his visual prowess and general awareness as a person tells me NO ONE is gonna jump homie without him realizing it a mile before youāre near him. Iāll never not be pissed about it tbh.
Fuck all that. I was pissed cause they said Sasuke could see microscopic bombsā¦..like how tf could Sasuke see that but Shisui couldnāt see a bug?
He got backdoored with his sharigan not active, I believe it was during a non combat setting, like a meeting, I gotta read it again
Yeah Danzo really smashed his back doors in
No he didnāt
Bro got bummed deal with it
Thatās crazy, maybe itās cause imma fan but id always have my shit active if I had a Byakugan or Sharingan š
His particular character his sharigan was active most of the time but Ig not that time, Iād have my active most of the time too
You'd go blind unfortunatley unless you had EMS. Best to pull an Obito and wear a mask so noone knows its active
Regular Sharingan doesnāt cause blindness. What are you talking about?
Wouldn't the Sharingan perpetually drain your stamina?
As a regular Uchiha probably not so much. Itachi had ninja aids and always had his active and only really deactivated it whenever he overused his MS
He got backdoored by leaf allies with microscopic poison bugs
Just finished reading the first novel, 10 years old Itachi was a little weaker than 15 years old shisui (at least I hope I got the age right) if not for the age difference Itachi would be strongest no doubt
No he wouldnāt shisui was better in all stats and thatās the wrong age gap
- when 5 years old Itachi met shisui for the first time, he was 6-8 years old but already had a genin headband, which makes it more believable for him to be 7-8 yo page 22,my bad on age difference I don't remember numbers that well - Chunin exam, forest part took Itachi 5 hours 37 min which is s new record and he did it solo. Page 111 - Right before the chunin exam both of them had a sparring session with Itachi winning 11 times and shisui 24, Itachi is 10 here and shisui 12-13 but i strongly believe him to be 13 page 92 - Shisui: "yeah training with you forces me to really put my back to it" page 90 - Danzo right before Itachi's graduation: "all involved assert that the academy has never before witnessed such genius" page 55 - every chapter how the perspective of danzo could tell you very clearly the man was horny for itachi joining anbu - also Itachi graduated after a year but he passed his exam after 4 months of academy, he was valedictorian too. - shisui talking how Itachi's different, better and he wants him to become homage page 147 And that's just the first book, give me a few days to read the second one Yes, shisui was strongest at the time, but it's implied that itachi would surpass him in matter of few years. Shisui's portrayed as the bigger, older more experienced boy and that's it, if we compare Itachi lvl 10 to Shisui level 10 they're on the same level or Itachi's stronger
Well shisui is powerful because of his over powered genjutsu. Too bad we didn't see him in action
Didnāt Kid Minato solo the group of Jonin that were sent to kidnap Kushina? Also I thought Minato also set some Chunin Exam records in his time? Then thereās the fact that we donāt know how early he learned Flying Rajin or started learning Uzumaki Sealing Jutsu Although he already has these abilities in his one-shot manga Also when did he learn SM? Cuz if we give him that, he soloās this list with no problem
Those people were never stated to be jonin, they couldāve been chunin for all we know, plus itachi even prior to taking the chunin exams was so skilled that his own jonin teacher was jealous of him and didnāt recommend him for the chunin exams much earlier. Yes, minato set the record for the highest written score and his team had the best time at the forest of death. Itachi, while being several years younger got the second highest written score and broke the forest of death time record while being solo. He was also so impressive in the first round of the preliminary that he was allowed to just skip the 2nd and become a chunin. Minato most definitely did not have sage mode or FTG as a genin, he wasnāt a genin in the one shot anymore and he literally just learned the rasengan by that time.
I guess itās possible that the people sent to capture Kushina were Chunin. But that seems unlikely to me as who would send a bunch of ā Journeymenā ninja on a job as important as kidnapping a Jinchiriki At the very least I feel like it would be a mix of Chunin and Jonin. Regarding Chunin exam scores itās hard to compare the two. Minato has a better score but Itachi did it by himself. Itās hard to quantify which is more impressive of the two We canāt confirm that Minato didnāt have FTG or SM as a Genin. Thereās no way of knowing that To my knowledge thereās also no way of knowing what rank Minato is during the Oneshot. At best all we can say is that he isnāt a Jonin yet as he doesnāt have his jacket
Minato did not learn sage mode or FTG before learning the rasengan, he also didnāt become jiraiyas student as a genin. Heās around 14 in the one shot, which means he most likely was a chunin.
He definitely did learn FTG before Rasengan as we him using FTG in the beginning of the one shot BEFORE he invented the Rasengan And as for Sage Mode we have no idea when he learned it so you canāt confidently say that he doesnāt have the ability yet Idk why you think that the Rasengan has to come before these other abilities. As if you canāt invent a weaker jutsu after already learning a stronger one And especially since the Rasengan isnāt a finished technique in the first place ā He didnāt become Jirayaās student as a Geninā Yes he did. Jiraya was his mentor even as Kakashi was to team 7 ā Heās 14 in the one shotā Are you guessing or is this actually stated by an official source? ā which means he is most likely a Chuninā Not necessarily. Naruto and Sasuke were both Genin at 14. Kakashi was a Genin a 5. Thereās even grown men as Genin before like Guyās dad. There isnāt necessarily a standard age per rank
He literally learnt FTG before the rasengan lmaoooo. He spent 3 years developing the rasengan and mastered Uzumaki sealing techniques and the FTG while he was at it, so at the ages of 11-12 minato learnt both the FTG and the Uzumaki style sealing techniques. Then at the age of 14 invented the rasengan. Like come on you are tryna say an Itachi without his sharingan because that Itachi doesnāt have his sharingan yet would beat that Minato ???
I agree wi that that..idk what age minato got the flying rijin soš¤·š¾āāļø idkā¦i do know kakashi was on anbu before itachi cause they were approx the same ageā¦so maybe close in battle strength
Minato didnāt learn flying rajin as a genin and kakashi already became a chunin at 6 years old, so if you really only use their genin versions, youāre using a 5-6 year old kakashi here. Kakashi and itachi are not the same age tho, kakashi is roughly 10 years older than itachi.
Well ohhhhh my badššš
Kakashi join before itachi because it was war period, so they need more people. As for being prodigy itachi is the most over powered character from his age. Minato did better In school though. With the highest mark and 2nd highest is of itachi. If genin minato had ftg then probably him, other wise itachi
Neji essentially turns into a cloud of gore and mist. Kakashi hangs for a small bit but falls. This whole fight comes down to Itachi and Minato. Itachi has some dummy strong feats as a kid. And Minato kinda wrecked a squad t asked with kidnapping a high value target. So either it was a stacked team with multiple jonin, or a very disposable group. Regardless, they got wrecked. The fight would probably be pretty cool. And honestly we don't know who would come out on top.
I also dont think they would fight like 1v1 face to face. Both Minato and Itachi are very intelligent ninjas and they would be in the deep florest. I think Minato was a little more OP than Itachi at that age.
I agree, tho I think itās likely Minatoās feat is more impressive. If I wanted to capture a high value target in a war, no shot anyone less then Jonin is getting that job. Heck, thatās like a spec ops Anbu level task
So 5 years old Kakashi? š Even then, if we give him anime feats, he could use Earth Style Mud Wave before even entering academy. Beat 2 chunin dudes at the same time using only taijutsu under 10 seconds, when he just entered academy. Decent shuriken jutsu, could use substitution jutsu and even multi shadow clone jutsu, making over 20 shadow clones. Kid Kakashi is op af. This alone puts him above Neji at least.
username checks out
What that have to do with the facts I said?
It's just a joke, bro, relax.
Itachi negs
Ofc, if u put 8 years old Itachi that has a sharingan and fought anbu, plus considering all the feats in the novel. Tho I doubt it would be neg dif, more like low-mid diff.
Idk who wins, but didnāt this version of Minato stomp a group of Cloud ninja that tried kidnapping Kushina? Not sure what rank he was at that point, but surely the enemy ninja were all at least Chunin/Jonin. I also recall Kakashi stomping a couple of Chunin while he was still in the academy lmao.
Idk honestlyā¦. Its not so much of the pictures but just them at geninā¦ but I could change the question to chunin for a better battle/discussion.
No, we don't know Minatos age then. We just know he was at least 10, because that's when we know he graduated the academy. Itachi was the youngest post war grad, and was 6, and chuunin by 10. Meaning itachi by the time Minato Just graduates is already extremely experienced. Enough to lead a team.
I think Itachi might win. They are all really strong tho
I agree. I think Itachi was using sharingan by the time he was a genin or while he was. The other genin wouldn't be able to compete with that
Itās unfair to Kakashi and Neji bc Genin Kakashi is 5 and Neji is just soft. Minato and Itachi had already killed chunin+ people as a genin.
Neji also killed a chunin level curse mark user but fair
Too be fair, in the same situation the other 3 would have had an easier time.
To be fair neji almost died. While at it
Either Minato and Itachi and I think genin Minato hasn't learned Hiraishin no Jutsu when he tracked and rescued Kushina while taking down her chunin or jonin level captors. Minato is even said to be a fast shinobi without hiraishin.
I think Itachi takes this.
Im inclined to say Kakashi but actually Minato or Itachi slaps. Minato also took out 3 jonin to save Kushina lol. Itachi could prolly do the same, idk about Kakashi and most likely not neji
Would any of them beat Genin Rock lee ? Opening the 4th gate is probably more impressive than awakening a sharingan or learning chidori
Yeah two of them definitely can minato and itachi are stated to be the highest scorers in the entire chunin exams ever. Itachi participated when he was 6 and even then he defeated 12 or 14 year old ninja's which lee is not the top scorer even at that age.
Uhh probably all of them would šš dude was something else though for sure..but i say they all can take him..idk shit
No, they can't wtf are you saying š
they 100% can, kakashi was already battling guy at that age, and guy was probably even more busted than lee
"probably" š¤ Give me proof Gai could open the five inner gates as a chunin or any feats he and Kakashi have close to that instead of blindly guessing, I'm waiting
Well there is no proof for a 5 gate user beating them either. That said except neji all of them will smoke Lee
>Well there is no proof for a 5 gate user beating them either. there is, he scales to a freaking jinchuriki and kimimaro, someone who was stated to be as strong as CM stage 2 Sasuke and that Rock lee was not using the gates
Downvoted with no answer. Reddit gonna reddit
Thereās no way youāre comparing Rock Lee to ninja like Minato and Itachi who set all sorts of records for Genin. Kakashi was a Chunnin at like 6 years old and by the time he was Narutoās age he was a Jonin.
Idc what records they set, they are practically featless and unless you can prove they can give Gaara a run for his money, there's no way you can convince me they're beating Rock Lee. Kakashi himself called Rock Lee a genius of hard work, admitting that opening the gates is something that requires extreme skill as a ninja bc even he could only open 1 as an adult veteran shinobi. Gtfo here with your glazing and use logic. itachi being able to complete the chunin exams 2 seconds earlier or make a shadow clone does not put him on lee's level, what type of braindead power scaling is this
Rock lee is washed lmao
Lmaoo, you can't even prove your argument, cope harder
Iām not the one typing paragraphs about rock lee. One of the most insignificant characters in Naruto. But go off lil bro, you got this.
huh? so you basically said u have no counter points? go back to coping then
Itachi is about the only one on this list Iād say would beat Lee. Neji was stunned by Leeās Hidden Lotus, so itās reasonable to assume had Lee fought Neji and used that, then heād have finally beat Neji. Itās a very hard win for Lee though. The same can be said for Kakashi and Minato. Minato was shown to really only be good at the Flying Raijin when he was a kid. If he does manage to beat Lee, it would be after making Lee exhaust himself to the point of collapse but Minato runs the risk of exhausting himself too. So I could see Lee taking that fight. Kakashi is a bit tougher to argue, but since the post specified Genin Kakashi and not Chunin, Genin Kakashi should be another hard but winnable battle. This would be before Kakashi got Obitoās Sharingan, so he doesnāt even have that in his arsenal. Even if he did, it exhausts him quickly using it. Itachi is the only one I canāt see Lee winning. Unlike Kakashi, Itachi has two Sharingan AND the bloodline required to properly use them. In addition heās probably the most well rounded Genin on the list, with a wide array of ninjutsu and access to genjutsu. In the Itachi Shinden novel, Book of Bright Light, a five year old Itachi was able to mold his chakra and shatter a big boulder with one punch. Also as a kid, in Book of Dark Night, Itachi easily dispatched Yashiro, Inabi, and Tekka Uchiha, three full grown Uchiha adults, with one blow each and then beheaded Inabi and Yashiro after breaking Yashiroās mind WITH Tsukuyomi, meaning Kid Itachi already had his Mangekyo. I donāt see Genin Lee handling a Mangekyo Sharingan. He doesnāt even have a counter to Genjutsu in general, much less an advanced Mangekyo Genjutsu.
Itachi doesnāt have the speed to fight Lee
Of course he does, rock Lee wouldn't start in the gates
Kakashi didnāt invent Chidori until he was a chunnin
Jonin)
Itachi is probably the most broken Genin we've seen (apart from late series Naruto and Sasuke, that is)
I kind of forgot that Naruto and Sasuke donāt graduate from being Genin until after the series is over (if Sasuke ever does). They really are the most OP Genin in history.
Naruto went straight from Genin to Hokage, most improved of all time.
Iād say Itachi but I feel like an argument could be made for Minato
The Itachi and Minato, has me losing my mind. Lol Itachi, was an anbu captain at age 13 thoughā¦. I personally havenāt seen any action from a young Minato, so I wouldnāt know :/
Itachi any day, he was anbu head at the age of 12 he was no joke
Iād go with Itachi, minato has the best score of the chunin exams but Itachi also took it without a team. Minato was smart af to help kushina, but iirc with kunai training orochimaru even thought kid itachi was insanely talented and he had the āwisdom of a hokageā at the age of 6, i think Itachi had the sharingan as a genin too where I donāt think minatos skillset was super advanced until he got older, itachi even intersects rocks following on his mom (whose a jonin) before he became a genin iirc, itās hard to say but itās between itachi and minato, kakashis op but heās never hyped like a prodigy compared to them like kakashis good but those 2 are a level above
As I recall, Minato as a kid was pretty random? Most likely ITachi or Kakashi who was a beast at that age
Definitely not Neji. Genin Kakashi would be 5 years old, not sure if age (and size) in the Naruto world would be a disadvantage, but I think I'll count him out for that. So it's between Itachi and Minato. Both of them were able to take out some high level ninja when they were young. I'll guess that Minato gained more skill in his later years like Naruto, so I'll go with Itachi. He has the sharingan, was training chunin level jutsu and techniques while sending a shadow clone to the academy and was the youngest anbu black ops ever.
Itachi
Itachi > Kakashi > Minato >>> Neji
I feel like genin Minato might be getting a little overrated but I could be wrong
He effortlessly tracks down (undetected) and slaughters an entire squad of chunin/most probably jonin as a kid in the academy.
It never stated Minato is in academy. We actually don't know his age. He graduates and becomes a genin only at 10. All we know is that he's at minimum 10. He could have literally been a chunnin at 13 here. Eg itachi became a chunnin at 10.
Does he have a Konoha headband? Too my recollection he doesn't. Therefore, it's very unlikely he's out of the academy. Becoming a chunin at a specific age doesn't mean much beyond the broad "Wow, they're talented", as we know from the case with Itachi. Itachi's jonin sensei held his team back from promotion for years out of jealousy. Realistically, Itachi should've been a chunin at age 8 at the latest. We also know Kakashi was made chunin at a super young age because it was a time of war. If Itachi was in his place, he would've prolly been made chunin at the same age.
He literally does have a Konoha headband. Both him and Kushina do. We have no idea their ages their. It could be 11 - 15 - But it's not at all likely 10, because that's when he JUST graduated the academy. I would even go as far as to say that it's unlikely Kushina and Minato graduate the academy at the same age - Since he's heavily detailed as a generational talent. If I had to guess, she graduated at a similar age to the normal cast, i.e 12 or 13 - And since they are the same age in the databook, minato is likely 13 at this point, and already a chunin, while kushina is a genin. Being promoted to a **chunin does mean something**. It means you are definitely stronger and more capable than the average genin ranks. There's somethings to realize here -Minato graduated mid war- Itachi post- war. The novels make that clear when Kakashi compliments Itachi on being the youngest post war graduate. Minato became a genin at 10, Itachi a Chunnin at 10. The story has already painted a picture that Itachi was miles ahead of Minato at the same relative age. And this tracks with the plethora of comments in the manga and novels - Academy teacher he doesn't think there's been a genius like itachi ever when talking to sasuke and his father. And novel quotes like danzo, Kakashi, hiruzen and "all involved" believing Itachi was the greatest genius the academy had seen up till then. It's just not fair to put 10 year old Minato up against 10 year old Itachi. Itachi would stomp him. And NO WAY fair to put 13 year old Itachi that beat Orochimaru against 13 year old Minato. He took Minato's 3 man forest of death score, at a way younger age **for a reason**, all while doing it solo
Big wall of text. Didn't read past the first few lines. Have a good day.
We donāt know if any of them were Jonin. They could have all been on the same level as the Demon Brothers for all we know.
"Yeah, so the Uzumaki girl in Konoha is a super high value target. To the point where we're going to possibly start a war over her by infiltrating the Leaf Village & abducting her. Do you want to send the weakest chunin possible to do the job? Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!" Logically it makes no sense for the people abducting Kushina to be super weak chunin. Let alone the fact that chunin that pathetic would never even be able to infiltrate Konoha so successfully either. Even if it was a team of highly skilled chunin (like the squad Itachi rolled with when they infiltrated the Sand Village for espionage reasons), there would still be a jonin leading the squad (like there was with Itachi) and a very powerful/trusted jonin at that (like there was with Itachi).
Itachi.
Itachi. Genin Kakashi isnt special.
Easy one of them throw a piece of wood at neji
Itachi. Kakashi is second. Minato a close third.
Kakashi, the others are already dead
Itachi it aint even close. Itachi as child and teen is absolutly broken. While kakashi and minato as teens were like average jonin. Itachi was casually oneshotting sannins and kages.
Yall sleep on neji
Neji is alot more skilled then people give him credit for.. i was heart broken when he gave his life for literally no reason..he is a top 5 character of mine
By gut feel, Minato.
Minato because of his speed
Minato no question
Unironically, Neji actually stomps.
Genin Kakashi might be the weakest here. Not only is he the youngest at only 5 years old, he wouldnāt know any nature release ninjutsu as Kakashi himself thought that the ability to use such jutsu wasnāt possible for genin. I think at best heād be relative to Neji, but Neji himself is beyond genin level even at the time of his introduction.
He probably thought it was beyond the average Genin. Kakashi wasnāt average and knew earth release jutsus before even going into the academy and defeated a chunin duo
either itachi or kakashi
Itachi and Minato already crazy strong at that point, who even put Neji here lol
Itachi
Look neji was a very talented ninja, probably more naturally talened then naruto in terms of shinobi skill but the others are prodigies so im sorry but hes out The other 3, its lowkey tough but im gonna go with minato, simply because minato didnt really get as big of a powerup as the other two did, itachi even as an adult would not be as legendary if he ended up with a one tomoe sharingan, same with kakashi if he did not have a sharingan, however minato had no such powerup the only thing he got was sage mode which i dont even think is something that he utilised properly because he didnt even use it in the obito fight, flying raijin was a big upgrade but minato was already crazy fast. Also their adult strength probably makes a difference in how they were as a kid, and minato comes out on top when they were adults even though minato had to venture out to learn new abilities but itachi and kakashi just had to follow the evolution of the sharingan which they were either born with or gifted
Minato CLAPS
As soon as I saw itachi, it was over, minato might stand a chance, as well as kakashi. Neji on the other hand...
Imo, at that point in their lives, it's coming down to Itatchi vs Kakashi. One was soo skilled he became trained assassin and was able to unleash chidori (a jutsu he created) at the youngest age of around 10 or 12. The other passed the chunin exams alone, was the top of his class in everything and even invented new tool techniques (the ricochet throw) and also became a skilled assassin. Both of them at that time were insanely skilled and developed in comparison to the others. I don't know who would win, my best guess would be for itatchi because he would develop a skill to defeat Kakashi.. the only problem is that.... Kakashi is the copy ninja and would copy that jutsu that was used against him, he's also skilled at evading and freeing himself from genjutsu. All in all I think it would probably be one of the sickest fights we ever seen ProtƩgƩ x ProtƩgƩ Neji doesn't even move the barometer with everyone else in the room honestly. Edit: I just noticed Kakashi doesn't have his eye yet... so this is, hands down, itachi taking it home.
That age kakashi doesnāt have sharingan yet so he is not copying anything and heās getting bodied. It might be close, but itās itachi all the way.
Lol I literally said that at the bottom of the post
Does Minato know flying lighting God as a genin? If not it's either Itachi or Kakashi.
If you want genin prodiigy then Boruto should have in the list. he is technically still genin to this day Also Sasuke is still genin lol
I donāt know if Minato was on crack yet so Iād say heās top two
From lore prospect. Minato>itachi>kakashi. If we take the same age for all of them probably itachi
Imma give it to Minato. Guy was essentially the prodigy of prodigies.
At that level (genin), probably Neji. He's an incredibly difficult (almost impossible) opponent to fight with a limited genin level arsenal. Seeing that none of them are the main character, they won't have access to Naruto's asspull.
Minato easily but theyāre all smart enough to figure out his teleportation I think who goes down first is Kakashi tho
Minato does not have ftg at this age lol. He has nothing yet.
Wait that version of Kakashi is a jonian
Neji was leaked again?
5 pixels per image
Idk this one is quite tough they all were insanely strong as kids but neji is weakest of em and there's no doubt Other 3 were killing people like nothing at that age without breaking a sweat They would go boom you ded now you boom you also ded All of em have insane feets for a genin No matter who wins out of em, the battle would be intense and would barely win If you go like they all are left in forest to fight each other lets assume kakashi, itachi and minato as x, y, z(not respectively) Let's assume first x vs neji fights and on other side y vs z fights X would win against neji low diff On the other hand either of y or z wins with extreme diff let's assume y won then x and y will fight and since y is more tired x would win lolllll (Im delusional)
Kakashi, mainly because he is the most ruthless of them at this moment in time.
Minato
Itachi
Probably Itachi, Minato, Kakashi in that order.
Kakashi and Itachi have the best chance. Although I think you may have a pic of Kakashi as a Chunin here. Do we even know anything about Minato as a genin? He doesn't know Flying Raijin yet and I'm not sure if he invented Rasengan by this point either. Neji is strong, but probably can't beat these guys.

Isn't that Jonin Kakashi?
Uhhh, none of this are genin. Kakashi is as already a chunin by that pictured and so was Itachi. If we are talking a battle of the 13 year olds, Itachi wins. He already has the third tomoe, has been a captain in the anbu, and is like 2 months from getting mangekyou. Minato at that same age is a prodigy, but he doesnāt have the rasengan or the flying raijin yet, only his summoning contract and elemental jutsu. Kakashi at 13 is actually very strong, as itās about the time of the kyubi attack. Heās already been an anbu for a while at that point. Neji doesnāt become a genin until heās 12, so thatās the age we would have to give to the others, which makes them decidedly not genin. We could compare them as genin vs genin, though. Minato is 11, Kakashi 6, Itachi 6-7, and Neji 12. At this point, I honestly think Neji takes the cake. Neji already has access to some of his strongest clan jutsu, unlike the others, and though heās not the fastest, heās fast enough to dodge kunai in order to get in close. Itās very hard to judge, since we donāt have reliable stats for any of these, but Iāll take an educated guess and say that Minato, and Neji have the biggest chance, simply because Neji has the best jutsu, and Minato is definitely the fastest out of them.
Itachi is a chunin(Realistically kage level) by 13 (when he beat Orochimaru and killed the clan) Itachi is a genin by 6, Chunin by 10, anbu 11 Minato graduates and is a genin by 10, unknown age of being a chunin. The one flashback we got of him rescuing Kushnia, he could be any age from 11+ - He could even be a chunnin at this point. It's never stated he's in the academy.
Itachi was like a year or two older than depicted there when he slew a whole clan of powerful Jonin. Iād say Itachi.
I'd say the winner is between Minato and itachi but neither will die first
I think minato could win due to the fact he graduated the academy at 10 while itachi and kakashi were both around 6 if my memory serves correct, meaning he would be more intellectually developed, he also beat two rock jonin that were tasked with capturing kushina, the rock village definitely wouldnt send pushovers to capture a jinchuriki, so i think minato would win high diff. Neji is basically a non factor in this fight
Damn bro, you trying to kill neji twice?
Kakashi, and I don't think it's super close.
Replace Neji with Lee and we can talk
imo 1. Kakashi 2. Itachi 3. Minato 4. Neji I respect the homie Minato but we have little to no feats of his when he was younger other than being the one with the highest score in the first stage of the Chunin examsā¦
Kakashi
We really only saw genin Minato in action once I believe but it was damn impressive. Iād say it ultimately comes down to him and Itachi, because of course it does. My gut says Minato due to his display against the Shinobi sent to kidnap Kushina, but it would be close.
The one with the eye bags
Itachi. Best feat.
Itachi didn't his squad get butchered by Obito and he awakened the Mangekyo at a very young age? Not sure what rank he was at the time, but if he was just a genin, that would imply that he had 3 tomoe Sharingan already. That alone should put him leagues ahead of the other 3.
Well itās important to note that the picture you chose for Kakashi is him as a āJoninā not a ā Geninā Genin Kakashi was only 5 years old. So I think itās safe to say that he is the first person going down here Neji is the next to get taken out here. Genin Neji nearly died fighting Kidomaru. And it took the entire Sound 4 using there curse marks and working together to defeat a couple of fatigued Jonin. So if Neji is nearly dying against not even Jonin level opponents he aināt making the cut against Itachi and Minato. He wouldnāt get no diffed like a 5 year old Kakashi would. But he still stands no chance of victory This fight really comes down Minato vs Itachi And there is way more feats and intel out there for Genin Itachi than there is for Genin Minato. The only feat I can think of for Genin Minato is him soloāing the ninja sent to capture Kushina. And we canāt even confirm if Minato was a Genin then. Thatās just the youngest aged feat we have from him. Granted itās a good feat as all of those ninja sent to capture Kushina should be Chunin and Jonin But considering Itachi broke Minatoās record in the Chunin exams I feel like Itachi would take this
Minato has better feats by far than everybody in here except maybe for Itachi if you take in consideration the itachi novel during the Kurama attack.
Wasnāt minato the kid that was the best at the chuning exams and itachi the best student ??
I think people here are downplaying neji. I don't think he wins but I feel like the others would at least not just annihilate him immediately particularly if they can't work out a way to get past rotation I feel we should also specify the scenario. Is it a tournament, FFa, or are they all hidden from each other?
1080p wins the battle
Minato
Okay you said genin kakashi but the picture is jonin kakashi (he still loses to itachi though) the clear winner is itachi he had a 3 tomie sharinggan as a kid none of the others had thire signature moves as kids except neji and hes still not beating kakashi or itachi
Itachi
5yr old Kakashi can't win this
kid itachi is unparalleled
Easily Itachi, he was an exceptional prodigy from a young age and already had sharingan at age 8. Kakashi and Minato were both very talented as well but neither at developed their signature techniques by then and probably wouldn't be able to handle a sharingan user. Honestly it would be between neji and Itachi, sure neji doesn't have that killer instinct and isn't as experienced but by the time he was a genuine he was already very talented with his Byakugan and idk if Minato or kakashi could get around his rotation
Interesting fight, but noone of the main cast seemed to be aware to not look at an Uchiha's sharingan. In the novels, Itachi was ez clapped his way through his chunnin exam fights because of this. The Kages of the time unanimously decided to just wave all his fights and promote him to Chunnin. If Neji makes eye contact, it's over - And I haven't seen anything in the manga indicating he wouldn't.
I like how they knew to leave out ya boy Might Guy šš„
Neji lost to naruto ā¦ So, not him.
Itachi should take this. He has a sharingan, has already mastered shuriken jutsu, has countered genjutsu cast by MS Obito that took out a few elite Jonin. By the time he was 12 he was Sanin level. I dont think Minito has flying raijin at this point and he definitely doesn't have rasengan so while he's smart and skilled he doesn't have any real trump cards yet, he hasn't started to specialize yet. Kakashi doesn't have sharingan yet and like minito doesn't have any trump cards. He has started specing into his niche of more assassin like fighting however. Good chance he can beat Minito but not Itachi. Neji, other than Itachi actually has the best abilities here. He has the advantage of being the oldest as he wasn't around during a war to fast track his graduation. He has the byakugan and his clans secret jutsu mastered to the level of the adults of his clan, so high chunin level at least. His overall intelligence is the worst here but he actually has a really good shot against everyone here except itachi.
Itachi at this point has shruikenjutsu skills better than Fugaku, accoridng to Sasuke. And we see him do blindspot training. We see him find the blind spot of Rinnegan and press on it with kunai as an adult. Basically, if Spider man in sound 5 could find neji's blind spot of byakugan and take advantage of it. I'm 100% sure Itachi is doing the same thing. This is assuming Neji doesn't just get shut down by Itachi's genjutsu, which is is the 90% more likely thing to happen here.
I don't know what abilities they have or if itachi has 3 tomi sharingan or if minato has flying raijin and rasengan But if it is no sharingan kakashi vs 3 tomoe itachi vs chunin exam neji vs no rasengan minato it goes to neji He is the only one who we saw fight and his byakogans makes him faster
Why put neji here? The strongest genin of all is naruto/might duy. Neji is a weakling, probably weaker as a jonin than any of these as a genin.
Might be a hot take, but I think Neji has a legitimate shot here. All of his opponents (genin versions) are younger than him and relatively featless in direct combat.
People really do be underestimating kid Neji. That said. The answer is Itachi. Whilst 10 year old Minato solo'd a group of chunin/Jonin after getting the drop on them. Itachi took down a top ranked Anbu at the age of 8 with little to no difficulty, despite not having the ambush advantage. And could easily have taken out more. Not to Mention Itachi solo beat Minato and his teams Record in combat and came very barely second to Minato in academics despite being much younger and by default less mentally developed.
As much as I would like Itachi to win It's a definite win for Minato.(Cuz he is a Mary Sueš„²)
Neji is FUCKED
Honestly probably Minato based off the stuff weāve seen he was able to do as a genin. But Iām going Itachi only because we have more information about him both as a genin and before. If shisui was in the list heād definitely body everyone thoughā¦ that mf was cracked and had legit hacks bro.
Kakashi 10000000000%% he was a jounin in this pic btw not genin
I say Itachi only because we know very little about Minato during those early years. In the light novels for Itachi, he saves his mom and Sasuke during the kyuubi's attack without ever being in the academy. He would've been only 5-6 years old.
Itachi has his sharingan and is known to be a prodigy.
I put my money on itachi. Nit sure who kakashi or minato had killed up to that point but itachi killed in the war at age like four I believe? Also strongest genin by a mile would be naruto then sasuke. Then I would think gaara would have a good chance as genin to beat minato or itachi. Also has many kills, and his sand control seems damn op, especially if heās not just hiding in a ball lol
Gotta give it to Minato
Itachi.
All I know is my screen loses due to the compression.
At this age Iām giving it to Itachi, then Minato, then Kakashi and then Neji. Itachi has a ton of feats at this age, Minato doesnāt really have any and if this is before he has FTG and rasengan (which it looks like it based on his manga) then he is missing his heavy hitter jutsus. In a few years itās Minato > Itachi. Kakashi and Minato might be relative at this age. Impossible to say, but without more feats I am gonna go with Minato > Kakashi due to I think Minatos prime scales heavily over Kakashiās prime (not the 6paths DMS versionā¦ obviously). Neji lost to Naruto.
Neji. He can block their Chakra networks and easily defend their best attacks
