This intelligence could also be seen through Itachi's immense foresight, such as examples like the foreknowledge of Sasuke's defeat of Deidara and simultaneous survival, his own pre-meditated fatalist view of death by Sasuke's hand, and most recently the implantation of his own Kotoamatsukami-imbued crow inside Naruto were only some examples seen. This foresight was undoubtedly one of his most effective attributes in battle. It would appear that Sasuke has inherited a lesser gift of foresight than his older brother, though time will undoubtedly tell if he surpasses Itachi.
