Abilities
Tenten is a highly skilled kunoichi specializing in bukijutsu (weapon mastery) and fūinjutsu (seal techniques). Her primary strength lies in her exceptional proficiency with a wide array of weaponry, demonstrating accuracy and versatility in combat. She can wield various tools with expertise, including the manriki-gusari, bō staff, and even unfamiliar weapons like the Jidanda and Bashōsen, adapting quickly to different situations. Her marksmanship is exceptional, consistently achieving perfect scores. By adulthood, she's considered Konoha's top weapon user. Her fūinjutsu skills are equally impressive, allowing her to store and rapidly deploy numerous weapons from scrolls. She can enhance these weapons with explosive tags and guide their trajectory with wire strings. Notable techniques include the Twin Rising Dragons, which launches a barrage of weapons, and the Manipulated Tools: Heavenly Chain Disaster, raining weapons down on opponents. She can also seal and unseal objects of significant size, demonstrating control over large-scale sealing techniques. In the anime, she displays the ability to summon dozens of weapons over vast distances. Furthermore, she demonstrates skill in manipulating puppets without chakra threads, coordinating surprise attacks. While not explicitly stated as such, her ability to summon and control large quantities of weapons over distance suggests a degree of space-time ninjutsu. While not a taijutsu specialist like her teammates, Tenten possesses sufficient taijutsu skills to hold her own in close-quarters combat. Her strategic thinking and observational skills are also noteworthy, allowing her to adapt to opponents' strengths and weaknesses and identify opportunities in battle. Her mastery of the Bashōsen, one of the Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths, further showcases her exceptional skill and potential, though its use comes at a significant chakra cost. Her overall abilities make her a formidable opponent, capable of holding her own against powerful foes, particularly when utilizing her extensive arsenal and sealing techniques.
