Biography:
manga-embed-btm-2
Tenten is a member of Team Gai
and one of the Konoha 11. Her hairstyle consists of two buns
which purposely make her resemble a panda (the style of
Tenten’s name is consistent with how the Chinese name their
pandas). Of the original Konoha 11, Tenten has the least
amount of appearances in the Naruto series and has the least character
development. In the Naruto manga, her only battle was against
Temari during the Chuunin exam, but only the ending (Tenten’s
defeat) is shown. Only the Naruto anime filled in the
actually battle scenes.
Tenten is usually level headed and is a good
complement to Neji Hyuuga. Part of this is because neither of
them can keep up with the pace of Lee and Gai. Tenten is a
long range specialist with amazing throwing accuracy. Might
Gai once said that Tenten can hit a bullseye 100 times out of
100. Tenten primarily replies on metallic throwing weapons
like shurikens and kunais. Because her attacks are strictly
physical, they can be blocked or deflected by powerful jutsus which
also rely on chakra. In these cases, Tenten often resorts to
increasing the numbers of projectile and using explosive tagged
weapons. In Naruto part I, Tenten relied on various summoning
scrolls to supply her with her arms. In part II, she has
consolidated all her scrolls into one large scroll which is usually
slung behind her back. 0ad-mid-banner Abilities and
Jutsus:
Weapon Summoning Scroll (Item)
Originally, Tenten had relied on various
smaller scrolls to summon her weapons. In Part II, she
consolidated everything into one large scroll and has increased the
size, quantity and variety of her arsenal.
Twin Rising Dragons
(Ninjutsu)
This is one of Tenten's most powerful
techniques. Two scrolls are launched vertically and spin
through the air in a helix. Tenten leaps into the center and
continuously summons weapons to throw at her opponent as the scrolls
rise.
Wired Weapons (Item)
Tenten may attach near invisible wires to her
weapons. This allows Tenten to pull a sneak attack on her
enemy by retrieving her thrown weapons to launch a second wave of
attack.
Explosive Kunai (Weapon)
Explosive tagged weapons are generally
reserved by Tenten for more powerful enemies that can block her
conventional attacks. She can also attach fake explosive tags
to throw the enemy off.
Spiked Trap (Weapon)
A metallic ball an explosive tag and a shield
of kunai covering its exterior. It is thrown at the enemy and
explodes on contact, launching its kunai in all directions.
Twin Dragon Scattering

Naruto Shippuuden anime. Tenten launches her large scroll
into the air and releases from it her entire arsenal of
weapons.
