Tenten




Country: Leaf
Age: 13 Height: 5'1" Weight: 093LBS
Birthday: March 9th
Bloodtype: B
First Seen: Volume 04, Chapter 036, Page 161



Tenten is the least seen member of the primary Konoha ninja. The only battle she has in the first part of the manga is almost entirely skipped, with the anime's rendition of the same battle being slightly more drawn out to fill the gap between the battle's start and her defeat. What is known of Tenten is that she strongly believes that female ninja can be just as skilled as male ninja. As such, her goal in life is to someday be as great as Tsunade. Because neither Tenten nor Neji can train on the same level as Might Guy or Lee , the two are usually seen together having more "normal" training sessions. As a result, Tenten has come to hold Neji's abilities in high regard.

she specializes in weaponry, and according to Guy she can hit a bulls eye 100 out of 100 times, although strong winds can deflect her attacks. Tenten's accuracy seems to have allowed her extra benefits, as the anime's Konoha 11 arc shows her to be a keen observer that can pick up on facts others overlook. In battle she summons varying types of weapons from the scrolls she carries with her.
In Part I she has many scrolls that serve this purpose, but in Part II she has consolidated her arsenal into a single large scroll. The weapons predominately consist of steel projectiles and an assortment of close-combat weapons, though she is seen using a crossbow in the anime and even a spiked bomb in Part II. Tenten's most powerful technique is Twin Rising Dragons, which rapidly summons dozens of weapons that she can throw at opponents in quick succession and then controls them with wire for continued attacks. She frequently uses this ability to help Neji train with his Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin.
