Tenten (¥Æ¥ó¥Æ¥ó, Tenten?) is a member of Might Guy's Team Guy, consisting of herself, Neji Hyuga, and Rock Lee. Because neither Tenten nor Neji can train on the same level as Guy or Lee, the two are usually seen together have more "normal" training session. As a result, Tenten has come to hold Neji's abilities in high regard. Tenten sees little attention during the series in comparison to most of the other central Naruto characters. The only battle she has in the manga is almost entirely skipped, with the anime's rendition of the same battle being slightly more drawn out to fill the gap between the battle's start and her defeat. What is known of Tenten is that she strongly believes that female ninja can be as skilled as male ninja. As such, her goal in life is to someday be as great as Tsunade.
Tenten specializes in weaponry, and according to Guy she can hit a bullseye 100 out of 100 times. In battle she summons varying types of weapons from the scrolls she carries with her. In Part I she has many scrolls that serve this purpose, but in Part II she has consolidated her arsenal into a single large scroll. The weapons predominately consist of steel projectiles and an assortment of close-combat weapons, though she is seen using a crossbow in the anime and even a spiked bomb in Part II. Tenten's most powerful weapon summoning technique is Twin Rising Dragons (Ë«•Nýˆ, S¨sh¨ry¨±?, English TV "Rising Twin Dragons"), which rapidly summons dozens of weapons that she can throw at opponents in quick succession. The weapons are tied to her fingers with thin, nearly-invisible strings, allowing her to throw them again should she miss. She frequently uses this ability to help Neji train with his Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin.
