listen i hundred percent think tenten couldhve surpassed neji AND lee in a heartbeat….in the manga and anime she and the hokages + obito ONLY could use space-time jutsu with such precision. that gives them immense power and the main reason minato was so feared bc he was a master of this. only, tenten’s ability in this was never explored…her scrolls and funjutsu matched the uzumakis…she hit targets with her eyes closed 100/100 accuracy. she couldhve mastered the flying thunder god technique and transportation too with her enormous chakra reserves and technique . she coulhve surpassed minato if kishi had given her a single ounce of attention.
“Since I’ve had to be without your sweetest presence, I have not wished to hear or see any other human being, but as the turtle-dove, having lost its mate, perches forever on its little dried up branch, so I lament endlessly till I shall enjoy your trust again. I look about and do not find my lover — she does not comfort me even with a single word.
Indeed when I reflect on the loveliness of your most joyful speech and aspect, I am utterly depressed, for I find nothing now that I could compare with your love, sweet beyond honey and honeycomb, compared with which the brightness of gold and silver is tarnished. What more?”
