<p>Sharingan by no means makes the bearer any smarter. Sharingan enables its bearer to:</p>

<ol>
<li>See chakra of someone, but not the chakra points</li>
<li>See motions in greater detail making it feels like slow-motioned</li>
<li>Perform genjutsu better</li>
<li>Do sharingan specific jutsu, like Amaterasu, Izanagi, Izanami, etc.</li>
</ol>

<p>The logic behind it is that normally humans don't use the maximal capacity of their brain, only about 10% if I'm not mistaken. In using the 2nd ability, Sharingan utilize more of the brain to do image processing, but not anything else. As for ability 1, 3 and 4, it's just that Sharingan is like a prerequisite to do so, just like a mere 160 cm basketball player would not be able to do slam dunk unless he have an ultra strong foot muscles. Sharingan is like that, only instead of foot, it's the eyes. Therefore, though Sharingan enables such feats I mentioned above, it doesn't make the user any smarter.</p>

<p>As for Naruto, as far as I know, Naruto is just moving very fast. His fast movement is different than that of Minato. Minato uses Space and Time Jutsu. That means Minato is not moving, he is teleporting. That's why he needs his kunai as marker.</p>

<p>Sharingan would not be able to keep up with it when he's on the teleportation, but when he shows up, it can.</p>

<p>When Naruto learns the Flash ability just before he goes out to join the war, we see Naruto actually getting his foot stuck in some stone after failing at using the Flash ability. From this, we can tell that the Flash ability allows the user to move very fast, because it'd take a large amount of force for Naruto to hit the stone, crack it and get stuck in it. Where as based on concept, teleportation would not exert any sort of outward force, Naruto would shift positions in space, but his initial vectors would not change.</p>

But if The flash ability = moving really fast, then why do minato need to put down a mark where he wants to go and why doesn´t Naruto need to?

This can be explained in a few ways. The mark can be used for prediction to result in less errors being made upon using the ability. If this is the case, it could explain why Naruto failed and Minato succeeded. That or Naruto can use the ability at a higher level than Minato, just that he hasn't mastered it yet, making him error prone.

the stuff under the Sharingan are fine as "Does the Sharingan make your mind think faster as well?", "does it make you a genius" and "Or is there simply no logic at all?" are all related, I am talking about the Naruto Flash Ability which is asking if it's super speed or teleportation, this itself should be a separate question as the previous question is asking about the Sharingan

No,because if the answer would be that the flash ability is a speed thing instead of teleportation, then my next question would be if the Sharingan is able to keep up with it.

Or is there simply no logic at all?

Naruto has recently learned the flash ability from his father Minato. When someone uses flash are they teleporting or just moving really fast?

Additionally, could any form of the Sharingan "keep up" visually with the "flash ability" of either Naruto or Minato?

Sharingan by no means makes the bearer any smarter. Sharingan enables its bearer to:

1. See chakra of someone, but not the chakra points
2. See motions in greater detail making it feels like slow-motioned
3. Perform genjutsu better
4. Do sharingan specific jutsu, like Amaterasu, Izanagi, Izanami, etc.

The logic behind it is that normally humans don't use the maximal capacity of their brain, only about 10% if I'm not mistaken. In using the 2nd ability, Sharingan utilize more of the brain to do image processing, but not anything else. As for ability 1, 3 and 4, it's just that Sharingan is like a prerequisite to do so, just like a mere 160 cm basketball player would not be able to do slam dunk unless he have an ultra strong foot muscles. Sharingan is like that, only instead of foot, it's the eyes. Therefore, though Sharingan enables such feats I mentioned above, it doesn't make the user any smarter.

As for Naruto, as far as I know, Naruto is just moving very fast. His fast movement is different than that of Minato. Minato uses Space and Time Jutsu. That means Minato is not moving, he is teleporting. That's why he needs his kunai as marker.

[Flash ability](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Flying_Thunder_God_Technique) is a teleportation. It's a space time technique something like Kamui. Naruto hasn't learned it so far. Naruto's speed,strength,skills are dramatically increased when he's in [Nine Tails Chakra Mode](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Nine-Tails_Chakra_Mode).

Now his abilities are even increased with Sage's power.
