Tendo is not viable in 4 ninjas lineup. You can try what you want but the fact his mystery is not prompt matters too much.
Tendo works well currently only in gnw, tis and ranked battles.
To explain it better:
On par power you are weak against every meta team currently running.
A blitz mb team simply will go trough bee and mabui if owns higher initiative and with lower is the same since your tendo will use his mystery in move 3 and if you are left with two ninjas there's not much you can do.
A mei mabui tenten team will directly own you since tenten mystery deals a lot of damage on tendo due to being multielemental. Yes, you will break their barrier with tendo mystery but in round 2 they are back full hp and your main is dead so no combos.
The wind sage naruto gaara team will go through you as the blitz team due to elemental weakness of lightning to wind.
The water immortal team will simply heal back whatever damage you land on them because tendo damage isn't full boosted and even if you used chikushodo/wb asuma and konan instead of mabui/bee would be the same. In the best case for you maybe you kill kabuto and sailor sakura and azure fang will bring them back to max hp and in round 10 is guaranteed you'll have lower hp than them.
The earth main immortal team roshi version would do the same as the water one, with the difference the battle will last less rounds thanks to ignition.
The root mb team with danzo will just endure tendo hit, unless mb uses interrution mystery, in whose case tendo won't do anything in round1 and mifune will make him useless since round2 onwards by clearing all his buffs.
Did i forget something? Ah SB team, but those talk by themselves.
Beware I'm not saying tendo is useless, just don't run lineups with him unless you are 10k stronger the 2nd best people in your server or use him only in team battles.

You're right when you run this team you're without a doubt the underdog in a 1v1 against a meta team. As I said meta teams will always be naturally stronger than yours, that's why they are meta and yours isn't. I'm just giving the people that want to use Tendo a winning formula against all the meta teams out there so they don't just immediately put Tendo in the * bracket without experiencing the full potential of this character. Yes you're instantly on the losing side when you face a water mei team, but literally any team struggles against that line up because it's utterly broken with little to no room for counter play so it's all good if you're not winning every time. Also without a single bit of exaggeration I tell you that the water mei gnk tenten mabui team for example which as known by all has little to no flaws IS beatable with this team regardless if your opponent is equal in power or a little stronger than you. Yes your team will struggle but there's a way to beat this team and that's if you manage to kill either his tenten or his mei (preferably Mei) in the very first round and you might think that's not possible because his main will just heal her, well not if you instagib the mei with tendo and your 1st skill + the chase chain. :D Here's the thing Tendo has literally the highest scaling mystery damage in the whole game with Edo Tensei Hiruzen being the second and only character next to Tendo. Also the whole idea behind running this team as I said at least 3 times already in this thread is to dish out as much dmg level one as possible meaning that you should never ever let a mei live to see round 2 if you're against one, otherwise you lose straight up. And if you think it's impossible to instagib a round 1 mei with this team you should just see for yourself.
To conclude, in my personal experience the only teams I struggle against in 1v1's are the lighting, WB Asuma, Iruka, Mifune teams because the buffs are too much for my ninjas to handle. The wind teams I do fine against most of the time. The water teams I struggle against but I manage to win if I kill the Mei round 1. The danzo, lighting, mifune, kimi teams can give me a hard time ONLY if it so happens that danzo is directly against my mabui to chaos her if not then danzo will die 99% of the time in round 1 without getting anything in return, just straight up gone. Also there are ways to prevent the round 1 tenten mystery since all the briandead water mains are so predictable in using it, you just put your main slot 2 and seal her while casting and if you fail to do so then your initiative is just lower that's all. There's nothing these teams can do to prevent you from making a match 4v3 in your favor because no other team has that much dmg level one, it's all about you outplaying them and being smarter.
I still haven't figured out what to do against roshi earth teams because they're fairly new, too tanky and that roshi chase is absolutely ridiculous + you can't beat them all. But before you say tendo teams are no good or not viable in this meta you should first see how far a high mooded team like that can go against the meta.
