Top Ten Things About Tenten from Naruto
This is about Tenten, my favorite aspects about her. This will also be comparing her to other characters.
Which is a good thing. Tenten doesn't cry, and she is really strong. It saddens me because people say she's the weakest, but in fact, she's one of the strongest. I just hope people will look into her character more before they judge. Usually, they roast her because of her fight against Temari, but I know all you who are reading this know and feel that a weapon's master, no matter how good, never had a chance against a wind user.
Tenten is also very skilled in taijutsu. I bet she can beat Sakura. Sure, Sakura has sage mode, but it only gives her strength and whatnot. But Tenten has the Bashosen and another weapon which could totally beat super strength. Seen Hinata fight? Kishi stated that the taijutsu levels of the two girls are the same, which means that not only can Tenten fight really well in far-range, but she's also extremely skilled in close combat. I praise Tenten. She's the best.
Is she girly like the other girls? No, absolutely not. There is a small extra episode where Ino wants to show off her looks, but Tenten wants to show off weapons. Being a cool girl or guy, which one would you want to see?
I honestly think that Tenten's design had a lot of potential, and her ability to summon a wide variety of weapons and tools was very unique. Kishi really should have done a lot more with her character.
At least she doesn't fawn aimlessly over Sasuke like Sakura and Ino do.
Am I seriously the only Naruto fan who gets sick of Hinata's constant stuttering and meekness? It would've been okay had she grown out of it, but that stupid Hyuuga was too obsessed with Naruto to grow herself! Tenten is a determined, fiery girl who isn't scared to speak her mind. She takes her training seriously, and no, she is not the weakest! She could beat Choji, Ino, and probably Kiba and Hinata too. She is a confident person all girls should try to be like. Go Tenten!
This girl has the courage to talk to Neji like he is nothing. If you thought she was scared, look at that. Hinata is like a servant, while Tenten is like a soldier. See the difference? One is stronger and braver than the other.
No one knows where Tenten came from at all. We can only base fan-made content on it. Unlike the other girls, she actually had problems growing up. Sakura and Ino had perfect lives. Hinata got to roam around uncaged.
Tenten is a funny girl, hands down. The scenes she is shown in are funny. She is always brightened up and not sad.
Unlike Ino, Hinata, and Sakura, Tenten actually goes on some missions. That's where the best of Tenten comes out.
She learns weapons pretty fast. Come on, those spiked bomb things? She learned how to use those fast.
In some of her screen time, she can be shown being mad. You are probably thinking being mad and caring don't go together, right? She yells at them to help them not make the same mistake again. It's like a baby learning how to walk. One mistake and you could fall flat on the floor.
With Tenten's cool demeanor, it's hard not to like her. She could be a demon, and I would still like her.
She is the most different from the other girl characters. She is smart, cool, clever, and gutsy. Most other girl characters had a good past, while we have no clue about hers. The other girls have almost the same way of caring, while she has a different way. These are the top ten favorite aspects about Tenten.
All the other girls are clingy and annoying. Tenten is just downright awesome.
The Newcomers
Tenten is a brave, confident kunoichi. I find her way better than Hinata, not in battle, but in personality. Tenten has the nerve to stand up to people with a serious, brave attitude while Hinata is too shy to do anything. All Hinata does is fiddle her fingers in embarrassment.
But Tenten knows the true meaning of determination, and she has shown us that in her personality. That is why, in my opinion, there is a big possibility that Tenten may be the best girl out of the four. But if you were to add Temari, then Temari.
PHYSICALLY:
Tenten has a naturally strong build, enhanced by Gai's extreme taijutsu training. She is skilled in both taijutsu and fuinjutsu, complemented by her quick-witted nature, which makes her effective during fights. Some might say, "She only uses weapons and throws them uselessly" or "Weapons alone can't defeat powerful ninjutsu."
But here's the catch: Tenten is a mere side character in Naruto, but she has great potential, and it would be great to explore her more. By side characters, I mean that authors usually use them to back up or support the main character, and that's the main reason she was forgotten.
She can be stronger in many ways. There's much more to explore in her fuinjutsu, taijutsu, and weapon-handling. She's a weapon master for a reason. She can handle and use weapons effectively and professionally. She knows weapons by heart! It doesn't matter what kind of weapon it is because even a single weapon can be deadly if handled the right way.
Regarding the chunin exam fight between Temari and Tenten, it was a complete disadvantage for Tenten because Temari is a wind user. Although Tenten could have won the fight if she used another method or strategy, that's my main complaint.
MENTALLY:
She didn't present herself as a weak, meek, and need-to-be-taken-care-of kind of kunoichi from the start. She is strong-willed and willing to do anything to hone her skills. She endured much more training and never once shed a tear. Compared to other girls, she's much more mature even in her younger years.
When Neji dies, she chooses to comfort Lee over breaking down and crying. When she's alone, she might express her feelings, but she will get up again. Just like Naruto, she never gives up. That's why I like Tenten.
Come on, I don't mean to sound like a creep, but she's really fine in Shippuden and The Last.
