That's what I've been thinking. Neji and TenTen and Sasuke and Sakura basically give off the same vibe in how they have an overactive teammate with a goal that seems impossible but they don't quit.
Kishimoto does parallels a lot. We all know the obvious ones like Naruto and Obito, right down to the color of their outfits when they're genin but there are a few I see that I can't quite prove but TenTen and Sakura parallels seems so obvious it hurts.
This first one is a stretch and it's mainly an anime thing ( bc when she's first introduced I think TenTen's shirt is supposed to be blue ) but as I've been rewatching og Naruto I couldn't help but notice TenTen wears a pink shirt with red accents and green shorts while Sakura has pink hair, wears a red shirt, and green shorts. It probably means nothing but it stands out to me.
Then there's the fact TenTen admires Tsunade and Sakura gets to train under her for two years ...two and half years or whatever.
And tere's also the fact that they both kinda have the same role in part 1. Sakura tends to explain things to Naruto and the audience as well and TenTen does that for Neji , at least during his fight with Naruto and she was hyping Neji up in part 1.
And I'm sorry if this comment is long , I've just spent way too much time thinking about these two and how it's a shame they never got to fight each other or at least team up once.
