Tenten Higurashi (ひぐらし十十, Higurashi Tenten) is a kunoichi of Konohagakure and a member of Team Guy. While initially wanting to be like the legendary Sannin Tsunade Senju, she realized that she did not have the necessary chakra control to be a medical-nin; however, she did not give up on being a powerful kunoichi, putting her all into perfecting her weaponry and fūinjutsu skills.

Background

Personality

Appearance

Tenten has black hair and grey eyes, both of which are depicted as dark brown in the anime. She wears her hair in two Chinese-style buns on her head with short fringe-bangs framing her face. She keeps this hairstyle consistent throughout Parts I and II. As an adult, her braided buns are still kept, but her straight bangs cover her forehead.

Tenten’s outfits serve as a reference to Chinese culture. In Part I, she wears a pink sleeveless qipao-style blouse (initially depicted as blue in the manga) with red sleeve trimmings and yellow fastening buttons and dark green pants. A pouch is adjusted to her thigh and her forehead protector and sandals are both blue. In Part II, Tenten sports a long-sleeved, high-collared white blouse with maroon edges, black fingerless gloves, low-heeled sandals and a black forehead protector. She wears maroon, puffy hakama-styled pants with the exposed parts covered in bandages and the shuriken holster removed. She usually carries a large scroll behind her back. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Tenten wears the standard Konoha infantry flak jacket and assorted clothing, along with a holster around her waist that carries two small scrolls. As an adult, Tenten once again wears the similar outfit she wore in Part II with the pants being peach-colored. She also sports red dangling tassel-like earrings.

She could even effectively wield a weapon that she had no prior knowledge on, like and Bashōsen. Also, as noted by her teammates, Tenten is an excellent marksman, hitting 100/100 marks each time. By adulthood, Tenten Higurashi is considered to be Konoha’s top weapon user.

Fūinjutsu

Tenten’s arsenal of weapons.

Tenten Higurashi is very skilled in the use of fūinjutsu. Her usual method is to store a numerous number of weapons into her scrolls, which she can later unseal with varying degrees of force to bombard her opponents with. She could attach explosive tags to the weapons to make them more lethal, and use wire strings to better guide the weapons’ trajectory.

Tenten's Twin Rising Dragons.

She can use her two small scrolls to perform the Twin Rising Dragons to launch a variety of weapons in rapid succession; which she was limited to physically having to touch to execute until Part II. She equips a large scroll in Part II, which she can launch above her opponent to rain a multitude of weapons down onto them. Additionally, Tenten can store and release a fire dragon that explodes upon contact a metal dome to defend against attacks. She can even seal large bodies of water which she can use to wash obstacles away.
