Intelligence[]
Yoshiteru is also a very intelligent fighter, able to test and successfully gauge Sasuke Uchiha using his ice clones and with just a few moves, he picked apart the Uchiha’s abilities one-by-one. He also possessed knowledge on Jūgo and Suigetsu Hōzuki and their general abilities. He was unable, however, to figure out Karin Uzumaki until she used her Uzumaki abilities which turned the tables in Taka’s favor. He also knew about the Kaguya clan’s Shikotsumyaku as he used his ice techniques to perfectly counter most of Kimimaro’s attacks until the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation was lifted.
