In the Naruto manga and anime, Tenten is the only female member of Team Guy. Fans don't know much about her, she's a character who often takes a back seat. So the Manga Zone team decided to answer 10 questions to show that Tenten is an incredible character.
Tenten in Naruto
In the Naruto franchise, it seems like every character gets their turn in the spotlight, even though all fans know that it's ultimately Naruto Uzumaki's story. 🍥 However, the only woman on Team Gaï, T enten didn't have as much time to shine as the others. In fact, fans don't even learn his last name for the duration of the manga and anime.
We may not know everything about her, but thanks to the anime's filler episodes and data from the Naruto books, 📖 we still learned quite a bit. Fans who don't know all of this additional history may have missed some of this information, which is why we have the answers to many potential questions about Tenten.
10. What kind of Shinobi Tenten wanted to be?
The most common dream of children in a shinobi village is to become so great and respected that they are chosen to rule the village.💪 Naruto and many of his friends shared the same dream of being Hokage, but not Tenten.
On the contrary, as a child, Tenten idolized the legendary Sannin , particularlyLady Tsunade . She dreamed of following Tsunade's path as an accomplished shinobi and medical ninja. However, during her training, Tenten discovered that she didn't really have the aptitude for medical work, but she was incredibly skilled at wielding weapons 🗡 and sealing techniques, so she changed paths.
9. What is Tenten's blood type?
In the world of Naruto, the blood types of many main characters are revealed in supplemental material. This is because there is a widely held personality theory in Japan that assumes that certain personality traits are associated with blood type. 🩸
According to the books, Tenten is type B. Those with type B blood are said to be friendly, passionate, and creative. Of course, they can also be impatient and reject help from others. Tenten shares the same blood type as Choji, Ino and Naruto.
8. Why did Tenten and her team take the Chunnin exams with younger ninjas?
Because Tenten and her team are part of Konoha Team 11 , it's easy to forget that they are actually older than Team 9 for example. Tenten, Rock Lee, and Neji Hyuga all graduated from the Ninja Academy over a year before Naruto and his classmates.
The trio failed to pass their Chunin Exams 🐱👤 at the first opportunity. They all agreed that they wanted to have more time to train and become a cohesive team. By the time Team 9 was invited to take the exams, Guy's Team considered themselves ready as well . This is actually rather good news, we could have never witnessed the fight between Naruto and Neji.
7. What did Tenten see in the infinite Tsukuyomi?
During Naruto Shippuden World War IV, theInfinite Tsukyomi was activated, causing a genjutsu on all shinobi that reflected their deepest desires. Tenten showed that she only wished Rock Lee and Guy Sensei were less excited, more calm while talking with Neji Hyuga. But that wasn't all.
Tenten's experience in the Infinite Tsukuyomi was different than many others as she very quickly realized that she was in a genjutsu. It's possible that this was because she was holding the Sage of Six Paths' tools when she was caught in the genjutsu. ♾ As a result, Tenten tried to break free from the genjutsu several times, but could not break free of it.
6. Does Tenten believe in the supernatural?
Overall, Tenten is always more dreamy and balanced than her friends. Boruto's short stories and series, however, reveal that she has certain beliefs that her friends may not consider logical.
When she joins Mirai Sarutobi on a trip, delivering him tools before staying to enjoy the hot springs, there are rumors of a ghost lurking near their room. Rather than being afraid or providing a logical explanation, Tenten is excited at the prospect of meeting a ghost. She definitely believes in ghosts and the supernatural.
5. What does Tenten do in Boruto?
Like several characters from the original series, we learn more about what Tenten does as an adult in the Boruto series. Although Boruto reveals that Tenten continues to carry out shinobi missions decades after the events of the original series, he also reveals that she has a new career path. Tenten not only collects intelligence and trains new shinobi, she also owns her own business.
She took her ability to master any weapon presented to her and parlayed it into a lucrative career. Tenten runs her own gun shop. Since the shinobi world is in peacetime when we first see her, most of her sales are probably more for training young recruits or for exhibition. It also displays the tools that belonged to the Sage of the Six Paths.
4. What are Tenten's passions?
Ghost hunting isn't Tenten's only interest. In addition to her training and love of weapons and hot springs, Tenten has another unusual hobby according to Naruto's databooks: she enjoys clairvoyance.
The manga and anime never really go into detail. But we can infer that while Tenten likes trying to read palms or write, it's possible that she just enjoys other people trying to predict her future. Either way, it's another example of Tenten valuing the supernatural over the more logical aspects of the world.
3. What is his astrological sign?
With her interest in ghosts and learning about her future, Tenten would probably also appreciate Western astrology if given the chance to learn more about it. With her birthday on March 9, she would be a Pisces.
If Tenten were interested in her astrological sign, she would learn that people under this sign are considered thinkers who demonstrate the connections between harmony and eccentricity. They appreciate art and creativity, are imaginative, and tend to be altruistic. This sounds a lot like Tenten.
2. What is the connection between Tenten and Neji Hyuga?
The Naruto fandom tended to speculate about the potential love lives of characters from the same teams. This is likely the result of the triangle that formed between the members of Team 7, Naruto , Sakura and Sasuke. Although Tenten was never romantically linked to Rock Lee or Neji Hyuga, some fans believed that she and Neji would have ended up together if he hadn't met his tragic end and it wasn't just admiration.
During the anime series, the production team actually tied the two together in a remarkable way. Neji and Tenten had the same musical theme in their scenes. The only difference was that Tenten's was played slower. This made fans believe that there was something important between them.
What does the name Tenten mean?
Like all characters in the Naruto franchise, Tenten's name has additional meaning. Unfortunately, his name has so many potential meanings in Japanese, that the one creator Masashi Kishimoto intended was never confirmed.
The literal translation of Tenten's name is "paradise", but it can also mean "little by little". It seems unlikely that either of these two words is what Kishimoto intended. Speculation says it is more likely that his name is a reference to getting "ten out of ten". This would go hand in hand with his extraordinary skills with weapons and his perfect shot on goal.
