Temari allows herself a quirk of her mouth in satisfaction at the praise, but no more than that. She knows that she's better than Uzumaki Naruto, by far, and she knows why. It's good to have a reasonable idea of your strengths, less good to be hubrised or falsely confident.

Still, false modesty is just as bad.

"There aren't as many shinobi in Naruto's village who are wind element by nature. The consequences are two-fold. There's less skilled training available, and less interest in researching how to improve and develop techniques. I'm not from Konohagakure. I'm from the Wind Country. Shinobi with this kind of ability there aren't rare. It's still the most rare type. Even saying that our country has more than any other, Sunagakure is much smaller than Konoha, the ccountryside leaner, and the people, harder."
