Tenten

1. 1
   The dream

   To be a legend like Tsunade

   Tenten enters the Academy set on one goal — to become a legendary kunoichi in the mould of Tsunade, and to prove that a woman can stand among the strongest shinobi alive.

2. 2
   Trying to be Tsunade

   The path that did not fit

   Tenten tries to follow Tsunade's road, training toward the medical-nin's craft. She fails — she lacks the fine chakra control it demands — and each failure stings her pride.

3. 3
   Her own path

   The craft that was hers

   Instead of copying Tsunade, Tenten finds her own aptitude: weapons, and the fūinjutsu to carry them. She stops trying to be a legend in someone else's shape and builds a style nobody else has.

   Team GuyDebut Arc · Chūnin Exams

   Every bit as capable

   On Team Guy with Neji and Rock Lee, Tenten enters the Chūnin Exams and holds her ground — and her stance, loudly, that a kunoichi is every bit as capable as any shinobi.

5. 5
   The weapons mistress

   Konoha's finest with a weapon

   Tenten perfects her sealed arsenal and her marksmanship until she is regarded as the finest weapons user in the Hidden Leaf — able to wield even an unfamiliar weapon the moment it is in her hand.

6. 6
   Fourth Shinobi World War

   An armory on the field

   Tenten fights through the Fourth Shinobi World War with a vast armory sealed in scrolls, unleashing storms of weapons across the battlefield.

Tenten's craft is weaponry, and the fūinjutsu that lets her carry it. She seals an entire armory inside scrolls and unseals weapons mid-fight, throws with a marksmanship her teammates call flawless, and can pick up an unfamiliar weapon and use it well almost at once. Where her teammates have one fighting style, Tenten has an arsenal.

• How do you guess Tenten in Narutodle?+

  Tenten's Jutsu Types column is the tell — Kenjutsu and Fūinjutsu, with no taijutsu, an uncommon combination. She has no clan and no Kekkei Genkai, so her Chūnin rank and Konoha village do little on their own.
