What great thing has shikamaru done besides rendering the weakest of all akatsutsi who could be beaten by almost every elite jounin incapable of fighting? Uryuu was what Sasuke was to Naruto in the early days of bleach. You're right though that nowadays he's nothing compared to ichigo/aizen etc., but the same counts for shikamaru compared to madara/sasuke/raikage/naruto etc..
Umm I don't think Hidan was that weak considering how badly he fucked up Asuma. Although he was definitely not the best member of akatsuki, he was not the worst/weakest. Same with the member who has the 4 hearts (can't remember his name). As I recall, Shikamaru was one of the first shinobi in his class to reach Jounin and his mental abilities are invaluble to the Hidden Leaf. Comparing that to Uryuu who basically hasn't done jack-pomegranate in this manga (until possibly next week) besides throw in some input and tag along as Ichigo takes on the world, I really don't know why are you trying to say here. Sure, they both use their strategic abilities when fighting, but Shikamaru's intellect is on an entire other level from Uryuu and if you want to try and refuet that, I doubt you have been actually reading both the Naruto and Bleach mangas f3.
Also, comparing Uryuu to Sasuke in simply the rival sense really disgusts me. Imo, Sasuke is literally the strongest force in Naruto besides Madara (and everything he comes with) whereas Uryuu is just a side character atm anyways. Btw, comparing either Uryuu or Shikamaru to Ichigo/Aizen or Naruto/Madara is a pretty terrible comparison and has little point. Obviously they will never be as strong as the main characters/main antagonist of the manga/major arcs, but the way I see it, I still feel that Shikamaru is much more useful than Uryuu because of his amazing intelligence, but then again neither has done much for the last 50~ chapters.
