Weapons + Family: Headcanon 01:
[家族や武器]—— There's only one reason why Tenten's so obsessed with weapons & what they do, though if you ask her she might tell you some other ones just to avoid this one. When she was a small girl, her parents died when the Kyuubi Kurama destroyed almost all of Kurama, leaving her in the care of the orphanage. When she grew older, she held onto the stories the housemaids would tell her about how many weapons her father excelled at, or how fast her mother knew how to throw kunai's and paperbombs. These stories brought her parents to life, and it was exactly how she had help to cope growing up without them. Becoming the strong kunoichi she is, obsessed with weapons and never missing— it's the reason she loves collecting and managing them so much.
