Naruto Shippuuden Episode 276

[DarthEnderX]

I always thought Tenten was pretty weak and useless in actual combat (and even pretty much anything else).
I mean she's got that nice technique enabling her to carry all kind of weapons, she shoots them quite right and in numbers.
But conventional weapons aren't very efficient, even in high numbers, against monster fighters living in that world.

I don't think anyone is going to take the counterpoint here that TenTen is actually a badass.

I think Kishimoto just wanted to give her something to do in the war.

The only qualm is that the tool's design is pretty awful and I do not think it fits the Naruto world in the long term. It doesn't look like a weapon after all...

It's also a giant fan. So the person who SHOULD be using it is Temari.
