Tenten is a natural weapons master; a Konoha village genin, this femme fatale has many moves up her sleeve. She mostly uses weapons instead of ninjutsu or genjutsu, but is also a swift fighter. Her Taijutsu are pretty strong, but what is the most admirable aspect of her is accuracy. Tenten has such a good aim that she can throw about 5 shurikens at once, and not one of them misses the target. In fact, her accuracy is so great, that Tenten can hit the same target 100 times in 100 tries, which is a 100% hit rate.

As explained by Gai, the only possibility in which Tenten can miss is by force, such as losing concentration the last moment or by moving the projectiles out of aim with air or sound waves. This makes Tenten the most weapon experienced Leaf genin. Besides that devastating ability of hers, Tenten knows to keep balance between offence and defense. Since her attacks are mostly ranged, she has a fair distance between her and the enemy; neither too close so she can get attacked, nor too far so she can’t attack.

This female shinobi, as told before, uses many different types of weapons to her advantage. Among other weapons she uses shuriken, Kunai, Scythes, Knives, Daggers, Katanas, maces, flails, and other blades. She mostly lances her weapons in order to use her accuracy. Now you may wonder; how on earth can a person throw a scythe and always hit the target. Well with Chakra of course. Tenten can focus Chakra and throw the weapon hard enough to cut almost anything. Some other techniques she uses is scroll- created weapons, where she unravels a scroll, and after doing some pirouettes in the air, weapons start appearing. Then, while Tenten is in a whirlwind motion, they all get thrown toward the enemy, causing great damage. Her most famous attack is described below:

Soushouryu (Rising Twin Dragons):

This is Tenten's ultimate attack. It consists of many different kinds of weapons being created by scrolls, and then thrown to the enemy. First, Tenten takes out her 2 scrolls. She then plants them in the ground, one parallel to the other, and Tenten located in the center. After a series of handseals, Tenten crosses her hands and a large volume of smoke appears.

Then, the two scrolls transform into beams of smoke that come upwards in shapes of dragons, and they start twisting within each other. Once really high, they become scrolls, and Tenten jumps up high in an instance, and by using Chakra, she places her hands on top of symbols, creating weapons.

Every symbol is one weapon, and by using all of the symbols in a scroll, many weapons are created, and are thrown at once. If the enemy manages to dodge, there are many surprises for him/her. The weapons have strings tied to them, which Tenten can use to raise them all up, and throw them once more, surprising the opponent.

Tenten's biggest fear would be a wind or sound opponent who can use elements to his advantage. That would be due to the fact that the enemy can use nature to overthrow the weapons and make them stray out of target. Against that kind of opponent, Tenten's battle is probably lost.
