I can't believe I'm saying this, but I believe Tenten could pull this off if she plays her cards right. Tenten doesn't have much screentime, so we don't know very well how her fighting strategy is, but Shino seems to be more of a defensive than an offensive fighter.

Tenten is a master in taijutsu, which I believe will give her an advantage in the battle. If the battle were to start close up, Shino would have an issue getting away from Tenten before she would use her staff or taijutsu techniques to attack him. Becuase Shino's bugs can easily deal with Tenten's weapons, she would need to resort to hiding and sending weapons from point blank range. If the kunai and shuriken are flying randomly from random places in the forest, there isn't much Shino can do but defend himself. One way I see Shino winning is by attaching his bugs to one of Tenten's weapon strings, we have seen Shino do something like this before. It's hard to see who would win because we didn't really see much of Shino or Tenten during the War Arc, but I'd give it to Shino 6/10 because of his versatility with bugs and his defense, I'd give the 4 points to Tenten because of the weapons from point blank range in a forest.
