Powers and Abilities
Temari is a keen analyst, and can easily pinpoint an opponent's strategies and weaknesses soon after a battle begins, she is so good it has been said that she is second only to Shikamaru. For actual combat she uses her giant iron fan that, in addition to serving as a club, it can be used to glide upon. Inscribed on her fan are three purple circles spaced equally across its length, which she calls stars. As she opens the fan to reveal each star in sequence, the fan's power increases greatly. Once all three stars are revealed, Temari can use her Cutting Whirlwind Technique or Great Cutting Whirlwind Technique to create slicing whirlwinds. Because she can guide these forces with her chakra, she can easily use them to attack her opponents from great distances. Temari's fan is also capable of creating tornadoes, and with her Wind Release: Severing Pressure she can trap opponents and cut them in the process. In addition, her fan can be used to catch opponents off guard, and with Dust Wind Technique she can create a wind current to blanket the area in dust, making it difficult for an opponent to stand once it has settled. She can also use Sickling winds, with this technique she sends out a cutting wind that can cut a tree. Temari can also summon Kamatari, a one-eyed weasel summoned with her fan, which can move so fast the human eye can not see it.
History
During the preliminary matches of the Chunin Exams, Temari is pitted against Tenten. Tenten begins the match by throwing wave after wave of weapons at Temari, though Temari easily blows them away with her fan. As Tenten runs out of weapons, Temari uses her fan to trap Tenten in a cyclone and propel her into the air. As the cyclone disperses and Tenten falls to the ground, Temari makes it a point to have Tenten land on her fan, knocking Tenten unconscious. Even after she was declared the winner of the match, she throws Tenten off of the fan in attempt to have her land on the many weapons on the ground. However, Rock Lee jumps in to save Tenten before she hits the ground. It should be noted that the fight was entirely skipped in the manga, cutting from the start to the victory without showing what happened in between.
During the final rounds of the Chunin Exam, Temari is matched against Shikamaru Nara. Knowing Shikamaru to use shadows to trap his opponents, Temari makes sure to stay out of his shadow's range. Despite this precaution on Temari's part, Shikamaru uses various tactics to increase the distance his shadow can reach, all the while buying time for the sun to set and give him more shadows to work with. As Temari evades his attacks and prepares to finish the match, she is caught by his shadow, Shikamaru having navigated her to a position where he could easily trap her without her notice. Although Shikamaru appears to be in a position where he can win the match, he forfeits, having exerted too much chakra in capturing Temari to fight later battles.
When the invasion of Konoha begins, Temari is forced to help Gaara flee the village. In the anime, when Sasuke Uchiha begins to pursue them, Temari stays behind in an effort to slow Sasuke down, though he defeats her with little effort. After Gaara is defeated, Temari and Kankuro carry him home. At the request of the Fifth Hokage, Temari and her brothers come to the aid of those sent out to retrieve Sasuke Uchiha. Temari arrives to help Shikamaru in his fight against Tayuya. She asks Shikamaru for information on Tayuya, though after explaining Tayuyu's abilities, Shikamaru replies that they should retreat. Uninterested in Shikamaru's opinion, Temari summons Kamatari, who levels the surrounding forest which causes a tree to fall on Tayuya, killing her. She then appears in the Konoha medical center, first criticizing Shikamaru for his lack of emotional control, but later appearing relieved for Shikamaru's sake when the news comes that his teammates will survive their injuries.
Upon learning that Gaara has been kidnapped by Akatsuki, Temari joins Team 7 in rushing to Sunagakure. Upon arriving, Temari finds Kankuro to have been gravely injured in his attempt to rescue Gaara. Wanting to save her brothers, Temari plans to join Team 7 in rescuing Gaara, though Chiyo volunteers in her place. Once Kankuro is well enough to walk, he sets out with Temari to catch up with Team 7. When Gaara is found and revived, Temari joins Kankuro in thanking Team 7 for saving their brother.
