it&#39;s just like making Kakashi turn out to be the 4th, or have to reavel Jiriya as part of the Akatsuki...
and to have Ranma turn out to be sayian, recca to be a Shaman, and turn Leorio into a mass murdrer...

besides, the 4th was a genious, Naruto isn&#39;t. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
Not a genious in Naruto terms.All genious in Naruto are genious because of their bloodline abilities.The 4th was a regular guy with an innate amount of skill.
