You see, one of the principles of Ninjutsu is that every jutsu has a counter.

So imagine facing someone super-strong at short range. Tenten summons a bow or kunai or whatever, and fights from a distance. Imagine someone fighting at range. Tenten summons a shield to protect against attacks.

Imagine someone weak against water. Tenten summons watter. It doesn't really matter what the enemy has. With the summoning skill, you can just use a scroll with whatever countermeasure you need. Tenten is never unprepared.
