The Yamanaka Ino Fanclub!

[MariaS17]

Same here, I hope Ino will show her worth and that she's still Sakura's Rival.

[WwhiptailwW]

Yeah I'd even like her to do a Hinata-like new jutsu fail. (Why am I bashing her so much recently? I don't even mildly dislike her!)

[juturne]

Maria's sig got me thinking.... what if Ino's true "purpose" in the story was to bring Sasuke around? The one thing that Sakura couldn't do. Not that I want this to happen but what if Kishi is basing her whole being on this rivalry and he wants her to win in this one battle, turning Sasuke from bad to good while Sakura moves on to say Naruto or whatever...???? Once again, I'm not pushing any ships here but there are signs that this could be what Kishi's thinking... Has anyone else picked up on it?

Well, you could be right. After all, Asuma said to Ino: "don't lose to Sakura, in Ninjutsu or romance". Well, as far as we know, Ino is better than Sakura in Ninjutsu but we still don't know the romance thing... You could definitely be right, but I don't really like that idea either. lol

Well, I don't think so...
Currently I get the feeling the whole Sakura-Ino-rivalry will end up in a tie...
So, that maybe nobody of those two will win Sasuke's heart...
Although I like SasuSaku.
SasuIno would be one of the crappiest most inappropriate things Kishi could do, I think.
Ino has always had only a crush on Sasuke, they actually never interacted, Sasuke probably doesn't even remember her...
I don't know, SasuIno would make Ino's development to descend in the minus ambit.

[WwhiptailwW]

I don't oppose SasuIno in fact I'm in the SasuIno Fc but I wouldn't really like that to happen. I think it would make her look quite cheap... I'd still so much rather see her with a new jutsu.

Well, as far as we know, Ino is better than Sakura in Ninjutsu but we still don't know the romance thing
Even though Ino is higher than Sakura in Ninjutsu in the databooks, I don't think that Asuma was ONLY referring to ninjutsu skill. I think he just meant it for general terms of just being a ninja. So he probably meant 'Make sure you become/stay a better ninja than Sakura' (which in my mind she is :hmpf Even though I think that Sakura is more likely to beat her from what we've seen so far)

[ArAshiMitArAshi]

Overall, Ino might be better than Sakura, but Kishi just didn't show it. Between romance and ninjutsu, I would like to see Ino excel more in ninjutsu. I want her to prove her worth as a kunoichi, not just some pretty,flirty, boy-crazed blonde!

Good luck, Ino.

[MariaS17]

I'm sure she'll master alot of ninjutsu maybe to the point of being close to a sanin level like Sakura.

[Shiho]

The manga is driving me crazy with Ino.
D: I wonder if they will put her in later, Kiba mentioned that "All she could do is cry."
If they mention that maybe she will show up later.
I'm personally a fan of SasuIno too just to throw that out there.
I do agree that the way things are going, if Sasuke goes with Ino or vice versa it will just make her look cheap...

[Mikecia]

My faith in Kishimoto is below zero as far as developing Ino goes. I get happy

just to see her apear in the manga. I think Inos going to just remain fodder

for...someone elses developement.


I doubt Ino will be the one to reach Sasuke as well. Kishimoto has been

more than forshaddowing that the one to reach Sasuke will be Naruto. It'd

just be weird if it turned out to suddenly be Ino. I do like SasuIno only in

fannon though, not particularly in cannon.

[Shiho]

There has been a few surprises in the manga though! I guess anything's possible until it ends? XD;;

But, I too am happy when I see Ino in the manga... Since like other people have stated, she's not in it much. D: And I really think she's a pretty character.

[ArAshiMitArAshi]

I'm kinda disappointed with the new chapter as well, but mostly on Kiba's remark about Ino. Now I'd crossed KibaIno out of my list.

[Mikecia]

So do I. She really is gorgeous. Thats always the word I use to describe her. She's the Kunoichi that enbodies the sexy devil type. She's like spicy sweet. lol

[juturne]

Like I always say- Ino is the kind of charcater I'd typically hate the most but Kishi hasn't turned her into a lame blonde, popular, bitchy chick like he could have done just to keep with the stereotype. I find that despite her lack of appearances, she is the deepest character in this series. That's why I find it frustrating when Kishi holds her back. That said, she is definitely written into the story to provide development for Sakura but I think she'll get a strange twist of fate somewhere along the lines. She's become so absent that the fact that she's shown up and been mentioned within the last few chapters just can't be random. Something's getting ready to happen for her. It won't be anything as bid or as memorable as what will/could happen for Sakura but I do think she'll get her 15 minutes of fame.

[MariaS17]

You might be right Kishi is well known for makeing twist, besides I keep haveing this feeling that Kishi will have something instore for Ino, might give her letent abilities of some sort.

[WwhiptailwW]

I'd love for the Yamanakas techniques to expand to telekenisis... :druul
Imagine Ino just standing there as *insert character name here* is charging towards her. Then she simply performs some hand signs and some nearby boulders fly into the air and hurtle towards the ground on top of Ino's opponents... :wtf If Only

[David1822]

Ah, yes... Very adorable ;<3

[juturne]

I found it interesting how they make her look like good friends with Hinata. I wonder if they really are.

[WwhiptailwW]

Yeah I wondered that too :hmm

I think they probably are. Probably not so much in Part 1 (Ino was definately to loud and hyper for Hinata!) but now that Ino's settled down a bit (maybe a bit too much :notrust) I think they do get along well...

I'm just trying to imagine how Hinata would have reacted to Kiba shouting at Ino crying had she been in Tenten's place... It would probably be along the lines of 'Kiba... Please!'
I mean, Hinata had an idea about how Ino was feeling, so she'd probably be understanding too.

[MariaS17]

I'm sure it's likley that they're friends thay are camrads so it's very posible.

[XxKumoxX]

Ino and Hinata really look cute in the ending :neko
I think all four Konoha kunoichis (Ino, Sakura, Hinata, TenTen) could be good friends^^
Ino and Sakura is clear and a few chapters ago TenTen defended Ino and then there's for example the new ending with Hinata and Ino... :amuse

[ArAshiMitArAshi]

Ah...I want to see the ending. But I don't watch the anime anymore. If there's anybody know a link in YT or something, please give it to me, okay?

Even though she looks kind of cute, I'm not a big fan of the picture. Ino's

proportions look wierd, and she looks like she desperately needs a bra.

Ino's a badass character, she deserves some attention.
Kish has been down-playing her far too much. :/

[WwhiptailwW]

He has indeed :quite
Ino still has the potential to be the best Rookie kunoichi (even though they're not rookies anymore) like she was in Part 1 :hmpf

Ino's winter must end soon! The databooks said so! (even though I take the DBs with a pinch of salt)

[David1822]

Yeah, maybe she'll use medical jutsu offensivly or finally use her clans hidden jutsu of Telekinesis

Yeah the DBs are nothing to count on, but one can hope.
There was speculation whether she would be showing up in Iron Country, but I doubt she'll show up anywhere soon- parhaps at the end of this ark as backup or part of a plan in another group.
Doesn't really matter though, as long as she gets some time to shine.

I think Kishimoto is leaving her behind for a reason... Maybe she'll be sent after Danzou with a platoon, or she'll help heal the villagers in the Konoha hospital... Who knows. :(

[XxKumoxX]

Well, I hope we'll see her togrether with her team soon...

If Kishi made Ino look bad just to show Sakura-development then that would make no sense, I think.
If Kishi will use Ino for Sakura's growing up thing he should rather make Ino look good - better than usually - so that Sakura almost 'loses' to her but Sakura will realise that and tries to improve -> Sakura development.
But bashing Ino wouldn't be Sakura development in any way.

[WwhiptailwW]

^ Correct. The best way to show Sakura development would be to first show Ino development. Therefore, Kishimoto is killing two birds with one stone.

@Sean
I think Maria either meant the telepathy, Shinranshin, or a made up jutsu we were talking about a short while ago (where Ino could use her mind to control nearby objects, such as levitating boulders and launching them at people :wtf)

[MariaS17]

we can only hope.

[Karsh]

I believe the reason he used Ino in regards to Sakura's development was to demostrate how much of a deuche she used to be as a child and how she was able to transcend herself and grow positively.
Doing the opposite for Ino seems a bit far fetched, imo, since he hasn't been exactly gratifying towards Ino's character (or other peripheral characters) as of late.

He has given us some Ino bait on and off in part 2 that I believe will amount to something since it would be bad writing leaving unfinished threads like that.

In any event, Asuma's words should allude to an Ino Spotlight sometime, even if I doubt it will be cataclysmic.

That would be awesome though.

[ghstwrld]

... what the fuck?

:rotfl

Plus, Yamanaka techniques are all about spirit possession rather than psychokinesis or telepathy.

It doesn't make sense because there are loads of pages in which Sakura's distraught and mad with anxiety over news of Sasuke's dastardly ways and the severe consequences they wrought. We see her hamstrung by these events; Sai's intervention; and her newfound firmness of purpose. In other words, the contrast is quite clear and demonstrable, and the Ino bit adds nothing to the equation.

[David1822]

No Ino this week. :notrust

[ArAshiMitArAshi]

Ah...another waiting. You know, I'm hoping to see Ino with Tsunade when Tsunade wakes up. She's a medic-nin, too, right? So with Sakura gone, the chances of Ino being by Tsunade's side is pretty high.

[Sean★]

@Sean
I think Maria either meant the telepathy, Shinranshin, or a made up jutsu we were talking about a short while ago (where Ino could use her mind to control nearby objects, such as levitating boulders and launching them at people :wtf)
I can honestly say a ninja using telekinesis would be pathetic, this is Naruto not X-Men :zaru , It would just be lame, relying on telekinesis to do shit, give her an element or something, some water style jutsu or something, not just throwing shit with her mind, or genjutsu, or even Shinranshin that can control more then one person...

[juturne]

Damning the spoiler ^

[MariaS17]

I'm afraid thats probably the case, I have a feeling that they trying to increase Sakura popularity by either showing less of the other kunoichi in Rookie 9 or making them less developed in skills like poor Ino, since the main focus of this entire manga is Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke Kakashi and if anyone else is going to share the spotlight as a main character it's Shikamaru. Honestly has anyone ever seen any of the Kunoichi actually fight in manga byside Sakura.

[Karsh]

Ok So I know this is old news, but I just have to bring it up again, so sue me!

[ArAshiMitArAshi]

To be fair, didn't he say somewhere that he would tie the knot to all the loose threads by the end?

Yes, he did say that.

The only thing I care about is who will end up with who.

[Sean★]

I believe nothing of what "Kishi says" simply because there are so many things Kishi has apparently said which seemed to be full of bullshit. I'm hoping he'll tie up all loose ends but I think that might mean Uchiha, Uchiha and more focus on Uchiha, wtf is a Yamanaka :yell ?

[Karsh]

I've been pretty annoyed myself at how he's been downplaying certian characters, including Ino, which is why I'm also scheptical about whether or not he'll give them a bigger role.
Though I'd rather wait and see, rather than jump the gun on his intentions.
Lol right now he's hyping up Sasuke as he has been before, but he's been hyping plenty of others.
People were hating on Pain, Naruto, Shikamaru etcc. when they had their big moments. Same game, different people and characters. :hurr

[spectre991]

^Karsh you made all the points I wanted to make. Can I shake your hand? *gives hand shake*

Anyways there is a point that all characters do have fandom that enjoy their time no matter how much light that character is taking or more like hogging if you ask someone who doesn't like that character much. But maybe Pain deserved that light like a few others since he was scheduled to die and was like the big antagonist for a while.

But Kishi kinda spoiled the fandom of these characters. Believe me, being a Shika fan I know that very well.

But gotta say Sasuke got hyped multiple times so far and that's bad for the manga. It's now weather you're with Sasuke or against him. Whatever happens concerning other characters don't count much at all. I hope Sasuke stays fainted for a while for the story's sake.

In the end the story isn't over so we gotta wait before jumping to conclusions. But Kishi has definitely made some part 1 characters look useless in part 2 just so he can hype some of his faves and he can't deny or evade that.

@Maria : Well we did (sort of) see Tenten fight! :P

@Sean : It seems currently Yamanaka is just fodder to Kishi. :(

[WwhiptailwW]

Yay Ino :zaru

(I have nothing useful to contribute, so just thought I'd bring a bit of cheer into this FC)

[David1822]

Well, Sasuke is Kishimoto's personal favorite character, so it's no suprise that he's giving him all the attention... :(

[Karsh]

^Karsh you made all the points I wanted to make. Can I shake your hand? *gives hand shake*

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/mommajayleigh/clinteastwood1.jpg

I agree that he's done it quite a lot with Sasuke, but I think that people are annoyed with it right now because it's very present at the moment, just like with other hyped moments with other characters- usually though, in light of new events, most of that period is quickly shoved to the side. :hurr

I'm wondering if Sasuke isn't being given time in the spotlight so much, to make Naruto's accomplishments of transcending him, if that is to be the case, more memorable and more astounding. :hurr

Well, Sasuke is Kishimoto's personal favorite character, so it's no suprise that he's giving him all the attention... :(

Well that's ambiguous I think, since I've read some statements of his that his personal favourite character is Naruto, as well.
He might be oscillating between both from time to time, but either way it would certainly be nice to have more of the side characters that he has given us. In reality however, doing this for each one becomes difficult. There's a fine line between incorporating all characters to show a bigger aspect of each and still be relevant and fluid with the story, and blatantly fan-servicing, which is more like a fist in your eye.

If anything, if he has the time for it and the will, he could give each relevant character his or her own side chapter since he can't totally please everybody in the main story. :hurr

[David1822]

Kishimoto is bi-polar, lol. All he has to do is make Ino the new Hokage and kill Danzou and Madara. After all, that's what dreams are made of... :ho

[spectre991]

I have also heard that one of his personal faves is Shikamaru. Well that's no surprise though. A writer naturally has faves. But ruining the story and other characters just to hype these faves is just too much. Kishi didn't necessarily ruin the story during the zombie duo or the Pain arc IMO. But he totally halts the plot and ignores all other characters when he starts hyping Sasuke.

I doubt Kishi actually has the will to show all characters anymore. It's confined within Naruto and Sasuke and if things progress this way in the end we might see that everyone but Naruto and Sasuke were like fodders in this story. I do hope this doesn't happen...

Giving each character a side story would take some time but that would be a great solution. Kishi has made a lot of interesting characters and it's upto him to make them successful and useful in the story. None can blame fandom if they get angry because a good character is being shoved aside just so Kishi's faves get more time. Maybe he can just give each rookie team a side story. But then again does Kishi even care?:zaru

[juturne]

He's like us, preferring a certain character at a certain time. When you're in the middle of an arc and your character is playing out to your liking s/he wins points. When you have little use for him/her then they just kinda fade to the background.

[WwhiptailwW]

I'm like that too though ^ I have 'phase' characters- Characters that are ranked among my favourites for a brief amount of time due to a current arc or game I'm playing.

But I do think that Kishimoto's favourite is Shikamaru (I think he said so himself)

In the end it all boils down to preferances. Everyone has something they like and dislike about practically each chapter. Some people are highly enjoying it, others aren't.
I was very dissapointed at how team 10's bond with Asuma was completely ignored to favour Shikamaru's bond with Asuma, as it also seemed quite inconsistent with the manga themes, but I know others who were totally fine with that. It's normal.

Lol getting angry at something like this. Ah but who am I to judge.

Kish is like all other authors who cares about writing a good story for their readers, and it certainly seems to be well liked by the intended demographic :hurr
It isn't his obligation to write more about characters that aren't directly related to the plot and shouldn't have to if he can't make it work.
Some things, are better left to fanfiction sometimes. :hurr

However, in light of new events, I'm thinking this will be an excellent opportunty to showcase his side chracters, since they will all most likely be called to partake in the battle scene.
WOOT *crosses fingers*



And I do agree David. Ino should be Supreme Empress. She's just that awesome. :hurr

Don't look at me, don't look at me! I was also annoyed the way Kishi only highlighted Shika's relationship with Asuma. Actually he ended up making Shika look slightly bad to neutral people(they say Shika hogged time and plot), Asuma fans(they say Asuma was more fair to his team) and even some Shika fans like me!(I say Shika doesn't need anti plot material to look good! He is already great, hmph!)

But I say sometimes, it is his obligation. He has made this character and it's upto him to make this character successful. Broken characters make a broken story IMO. If he considers them as lag, he shouldn't have made them in the first place.

However, in light of new events, I'm thinking this will be an excellent opportunty to showcase his side chracters, since they will all most likely be called to partake in the battle scene.
WOOT *crosses fingers*

Totally with you on this one! I have been saying this for a while now. *crosses fingers as well*

[Karsh]

Don't look at me, don't look at me! I was also annoyed the way Kishi only highlighted Shika's relationship with Asuma. Actually he ended up making Shika look slightly bad to neutral people(they say Shika hogged time and plot), Asuma fans(they say Asuma was more fair to his team) and even some Shika fans like me!(I say Shika doesn't need anti plot material to look good! He is already great, hmph!)

Silly, I'm not pointing any fingers or blaming anybody, I'm sorry if I made it seem that way. :hurr
I just feel that this time was different due to the fact that he seemed to be blatantly ignoring the team in such a very important matter: avenging the team's sensei, not to mention team kakashi showed up in the end to steal away what was left of team 10 pride, imo. Yet I know that others like the way Kish wrote it. It's just preferances.

But I say sometimes, it is his obligation. He has made this character and it's upto him to make this character successful. Broken characters make a broken story IMO. If he considers them as lag, he shouldn't have made them in the first place.

Why do you think they are "broken" characters?
I doubt he intended to use his side characters very much in the first place: I think they were used to create team 7's surroundings and their developments, not so that each of them would end up having their very own Big Moment. :hurr

Totally with you on this one! I have been saying this for a while now. *crosses fingers as well*

[Sean★]

Fact is Ino's character was written as a ninja rival to Sakura, and as long as Sakura is growing, Ino no doubt is aswell, and to wind up Sakura's character like finish the story, Ino's level as a ninja will have to be addressed, which is why I think she's gonna get a moment, or atleast mention as to where she stands as a ninja, eventually.

[MariaS17]

I know this is off topic but I gotta know. what does fodder mean?

[Sean★]

Pretty much just shit. It's the stuff they feed cows, and livestock lol, pretty sure its like stored grass and that sorta stuff, so yea just shit, disposable.

Lolol, my fodder knowledge is based of my playing of Harvest Moon so might be wrong but its def. what they feed cows, just not sure if its stored grass, probably hay.

Your right Sean, Ino is to Sakura as Naruto is to Sasuke, I mean think about the similarities that Naruto and Ino have, Blond hair, Blue eyes same Zodiac sign, blood type and lively personalities, Ino is pretty much dead last in rookie 9 right now just like Naruto was dead last in the Academy. She should atleast been given a powerful ninjutsu to rival Sakura's superstrength.

Totally agree. Team 7 just busted in at the last moment to make Chouji and ino even worse. And yeah Kishi should've remembered Asuma was the sensei of the entire team. Look at my second sig and you would know how much I agree with you on this!

Well the point is if a character doesn't get development he/she is a broken character. What the writer wanted to do is undoubtedly a factor but that won't prevent the character from being a badly made one. And a badly flourished character always influences the story negatively... no matter how minor he is.

Maybe Kishi created them for minor porpuses... but if Kishi just abandons them and takes the easy way out then the story is gonna suck even more. I know Kishi isn't obliged to flourish them... but tell you what, if he does that this story would be legendary. If he doesn't, in the end of the story we would know this as "just another manga".

Kishi brought this on himself by making so many interesting characters! He should've made less in the first place!:P

[juturne]

Kishi brought this on himself by making so many interesting characters! He should've made less in the first place!

That's what I've been thinking throughout this entire arc. There are so many new characters, plus the tails, plus the samurai (wtf?!?). I can barely tell who's doing what anymore and all that at the expense of not seeing the original characters I wanna see the most anymore.

[Kankurette]

That's why I'm so happy Lee and Kiba are back. Bugger the new characters, I don't care about them (except the Mizukage and Choujiro, he's a little cutie).

[XxKumoxX]

That's why I'm so happy Lee and Kiba are back. Bugger the new characters, I don't care about them (except the Mizukage and Choujiro, he's a little cutie).
Well yeah, I think Kishi gives those new characters too much attention...
He really should rather focus more on the rookie 12.

[Karsh]

I am not 100% sure about whether Kish will keep up with this rivalry thing going between Ino and Sakura, but I really hope so. :ohpek
I too belive that Kish wouldn't have made Asuma say those particular words to Ino right before he died, for it to not amount to absolutely nothing, and not be addressed in some way later on.

Totally agree. Team 7 just busted in at the last moment to make Chouji and ino even worse. And yeah Kishi should've remembered Asuma was the sensei of the entire team. Look at my second sig and you would know how much I agree with you on this!

It makes you wonder why he put Ino and Chouji in that arc in the first place. He could have spared his hand drawing useless panels of them stading around and gaping. Though I guess there are people standing around on the sidelines not contributing to the situation in RL.
At least Ino found Hidan and Kakuzu's position. Yay.

Ok understood. I think that all Kishi meant to do was to use these characters to move the plot along for the main characters, even if I wouldn't go as far as to call them fodder. He did give us a taste of each character(I think he intended to make them just a little more rounded than just some random face showing up), which ended up akin to dangling a carrot infront of a horse's nose without handing it over, to those of us who enjoyed one of those characters and would like to see more of them. :hurr

[spectre991]

The rivalry thing better stay IMO. That's one of the few hopes we have left concerning Ino.

And I don't care about these new chars much. They are ideal fodder IMO. Kishi is probably just bringing these characters to promote some of his faves in the future. Like the way Raikage's guards were used to promote MS spammer Sasuke and so on.

Well Chouji did try... give him some credit for that!
And why Kishi put them? That's easy. Kishi is making other characters look uber bad to show how godly his faves are. He used Ino again to boost Sakura. Now he is using Kiba to make sure we notice.:mad
He showed the other two just to make Naruto and Shika look uber pwnsme. BTW I did enjoy uber pwnsme Shika! Like you said some people liked the way Kishi wrote the story!:P

Totally agree. Yeah Kishi did a pretty good job, no, a tremendous job in the beginning. He turned extra characters into necessary characters and got me believing that he doesn't make useless characters. But now unfortunately things have changed.:facepalm

After all Kubo is doing a far better job than Kishi in distributing time for the kids. At least he has proven that six hearts do beat as one! Even the damsel in distress got to play a pretty important part at Hueco Monde. It's saddening that once Kishi was so much better than him when it came to character making. He probably is still good but he has Sasuke in his head.:zaru

edit : @Karsh : I know it's silly but I have just checked your sig and if you don't mind I just wanna say I had the same vibe as dolphinabottle. ;p

[WwhiptailwW]

I know this is off topic but I gotta know. what does fodder mean?

In Naruto terms, it's basically a character who is used as a plot device (think the tree girls that were bullying Sakura in that flashback) and most fodder characters are nameless.

[Karsh]

The rivalry thing better stay IMO. That's one of the few hopes we have left concerning Ino.

Perhaps, but it's also a lot fun since since Ino always gets under Sakura's skin :LOS

And I don't care about these new chars much. They are ideal fodder IMO. Kishi is probably just bringing these characters to promote some of his faves in the future. Like the way Raikage's guards were used to promote MS spammer Sasuke and so on.

I bet if he chose to expand upon them just a fraction, fc's would spring up and demand for more panel time as well :lmao

Well Chouji did try... give him some credit for that!

The both did try, but were almost copletely useless. Kish must have known that people would hate on their characters for that.
Oh I wouldn't have minded Shikamarau's spotlight at all had Kish not trolled Team 10 :amuse

How's Kiba boosting Sakura's character? He's just offering to help Sakura find Naruto since him and Akamaru are one of the best trackers in Konoha of his class... as far as I see it. Perhaps I'm missing something. :hurr

Oh lol Bleach.
I agree- we get the whole story of all the characters, which is pretty amazing since we're already almost at ch. 400, but seriously.
Can we quit with the endless WWE wrestling matches please?
There are so many of these match offs that they have become meaningless and random, to me.

In any event, I'm hoping right along with you guys for more Side Character Time. This war should be perfect. :hurr

No, you aren't. :zaru

Some of you desperately need to brush up on secondary and tertiary characters and how they function within narrative because some of these responses are totally ridiculous. This isn't to say Kishimoto has demonstrated an in-depth ability to juggle his massive cast, because I don't believe he has, but it's clear some of you aren't tempering your expectations appropriately.

Fine, forget what I said earlier Kishi is a-hole then, I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up about him changing Ino into a stronger Kunoichi. Screw Kishimoto, that A-hole doesn't know how to develop women right anyway, he ruined Naruto manga for me .

[Karsh]

Just making sure :hurr

I see no harm in hoping for more panel space for a preferred character, especially considering the possibilities represented by the prospect of the new developments.
As for feeling Kishi should do so because if not it would be bad writing, is up to interpretation and personal opinion.
I agree that side characters are side characters, they are named as such for a reason. One shouldn't expect a gaiden or get personally affronted by it if it doesn't happen. :hurr

I think these members are just being hopeful like I am, rather than expectant. :hurr

[twilight]

I hope we see Ino do something useful. Anything really she needs it. I want to know how she has improved over the time skip.

[Shiho]

Hmmm I'm thinking of drawing more Ino art and doing some fan comics.

Are two pictures that have Ino in them that I consider notable.. I have two other ones if anyone wants to see them but they are so horrible! They are from a year ago! XD

Does anyone want me to draw Ino like in the second picture alone?
I feel like drawing her, I'll draw her anyways.

[Sorairo Warai]

May I join this fanclub, please? I really do like Ino.^^

Welcome. :amuse

[spectre991]

How's Kiba boosting Sakura's character? He's just offering to help Sakura find Naruto since him and Akamaru are one of the best trackers in Konoha of his class... as far as I see it. Perhaps I'm missing something.
Well Kiba is kinda poking us in the eye to notice how determined and resolved Saukra is compared to Ino. Determined as Sakura is, Kishi didn't need to poke us to notice that! It's like "you notice my faves or I am gonna make a bunch of other characters look bad to make you notice!"
I think these members are just being hopeful like I am, rather than expectant

I know i am only being hopeful. Kishi has disappointed me too many times for me to be expectant.:amuse
I agree that side characters are side characters, they are named as such for a reason. One shouldn't expect a gaiden or get personally affronted by it if it doesn't happen.
I agree as well. But Kishi should do something to make sure they remain supporting characters and don't turn into fodder.

@Sorairo : welcome! Hey that reminds me, have I got my name on the list yet?

[David1822]

Hey that reminds me, have I got my name on the list yet?

I'm wondering that too. I think it was neved added. :(

Oh I didn't notice that at all. :haha
If I may, I think you might be looking too much into their panel space atm :amuse

I agree as well. But Kishi should do something to make sure they remain supporting characters and don't turn into fodder.

I think they will have other roles instead of being forgotten. :amuse

Welcome :)

Nothing just arguing with tards
Tards like me? :zaru


Basically none of us regular posters have our names on the list, because the owner never posts here anymore.

[Karsh]

Nothing against the current owner, but perhaps a new owner should be nominated :hurr

[Krix]

^ Hasn't that been suggested many times but this awesome FC is a tad too lazy to do just that? :hehee :<3

:hurr

[Mikecia]

Hey fanclub!

[David1822]

Let's pick a new owner then! smile-big

My nominees are:

spectre991
WwhiptailwW
juturne
Sean★


It's a hard choice, but it should be one of the above users. :hehee :P

[Krix]

It depends... Who has been in this FC longer and posts alot? :3

[Mikecia]

All are good. I think whips has the most posts in here so I beleive he's more than deserving but I think Krix should design the front page :wtf.

[WwhiptailwW]

Woah I'm being nominated? I'm flattered I guess! Though if I did become owner I'd probably have to reduce my tardish-ness :P

I'm happy for anyone to be owner, but if the majority of people want me then I'll happily take it.

[Krix]

I would love to design the front page. :<3
But someone else can be owner, and I can simply PM the code to them so the front page can look pretty. <333

[David1822]

It depends... Who has been in this FC longer and posts alot? :3

All the users I nominated post a lot but I don't know who's been in this FC longer, so it's hard to say... :amuse

[WwhiptailwW]

juturne and Sean have been here longer than me

[Krix]

^ And Sean has been here longer than juturne, I think. :3

[David1822]

juturne and Sean have been here longer than me

But I think you post more than Sean an so does juturne. So, it's gotta be between you two... :P

[WwhiptailwW]

Well I'm happy to do it but I don't mind at all :)

[Krix]

Mikecia's been posting here awhile, too, though. She's a good canidate as well.

[spectre991]

Oh I didn't notice that at all.
If I may, I think you might be looking too much into their panel space atm

Nope I ain't doing that. It's just that the spoilers were out early that chapter and everyone talked this out even before I looked at their panels! Lurking in some certain FCs has it's benefits.:zaru

@David : You're nominating me? If this is your way of buttering me up consider yourself 100% successful! Anyways Whip should be the leader. Nothing beats a proud self proclaimed tard when it comes to devotion! ;p

[Krix]

Whips would be cool as owner, too.

But all we really need is someone who will take care of this club to their best efforts. :<3

[David1822]

Mikecia's been posting here awhile, too, though. She's a good canidate as well.

Indeed, that's why it's going to be hard to only pick one of them. :(

@David : You're nominating me? If this is your way of buttering me up consider yourself 100% successful!

Every user that posts here is an important part of this FC, but you post a lot and it's always good to have you around, that's why I nominated you. :amuse But yeah, I think we should make a poll to decide who should be the new owner of Ino's FC.

Add Mikecia to the nominees as well! smile-big

[Krix]

The nominees seem to be

- Whip
- Juturne
- Mikecia
- Sean

Whoever doesn't get to be owner, I say put them as one of the co -owners.

[spectre991]

^Hm... shouldn't we first hear from the other candidates before anything else? We only heard from Whip so far.
Every user that posts here is an important part of this FC, but you post a lot and it's always good to have you around, that's why I nominated you.
Honestly that's because I got into pretty, let's say "intellectual" conversations in this FC. With you and then with Karsh.
I am not a member! Just lurking!

[twilight]

Welcome :)


Tards like me? :zaru


Basically none of us regular posters have our names on the list, because the owner never posts here anymore.

Oh no trust me. You don't even look like a tard in front of the ones I'm arguing with.

@Krix

If that's the list I vote Sean.

[Mikecia]

I would love to design the front page. :<3
But someone else can be owner, and I can simply PM the code to them so the front page can look pretty. <333


:ohpek You'd do such a beautiful job.


Mikecia's been posting here awhile, too, though. She's a good canidate as well.

:hurr I'd love to have the Ino club. Apart from my current set I do nothing

but whore her in my sigs but I think the other candidates are more worthy

since they have both quantity and quality posts in here.

Oh no trust me. You don't even look like a tard in front of the ones I'm arguing with.


:LOS

[sweets]

I nominate myself as Sextary :hurr

[Karsh]

^ Hasn't that been suggested many times but this awesome FC is a tad too lazy to do just that? :hehee :<3

:hurr

No idea I just asked for membership last week :lmao

The nominations and planning of the first page sounds great to me :hurr

Nope I ain't doing that. It's just that the spoilers were out early that chapter and everyone talked this out even before I looked at their panels! Lurking in some certain FCs has it's benefits.:zaru

The difference is that when we're talking about people talking it over in their own fc's or trying to defend their own opinion in a debate, people tend to over do it.
Just because that's what people in certain threads say they think is going on, doesn't mean that is Kish's idea. It's just their thoughts.
I don't think Kiba revolved around Sakura for example, but hey, guess that's what interpretations are made for. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's canon though. :hurr

Some threads can be pretty bizzare as some even sexually attack manga characters in those threads. Those definitely aren't Kish's opinion that's for sure!
I don't believe everything said in all topics but I do kinda agree that Kish shouldn't have made kiba say that. It sort of seemed like bland favourism.

I am not saying Kiba revolved around Sakura. It's not like Sakura told him to say that! Kiba only said what he probably thought was correct. But by making him say that kish is making his fave look good. Sakura is passive in this Kiba incident and has nothing to do with it the same way it's not shika's fault if kishi makes his team look like fodder to make him look good.

[ghstwrld]

:lmao I'm really dying inside. Please stop the madness. :facepalm

[Sean★]

The nominees seem to be

- Whip
- Juturne
- Mikecia
- Sean

Whoever doesn't get to be owner, I say put them as one of the co -owners.

I admit it's a good idea, personally I've tried to overthrow it myself lol, but Prince Leon is active, however the mod I messaged just ignored me and it was like within last couple months, I messaged owner himself no reply either, nasty business really,

Although on technicality, if you read the topic about it owners have to update member list, and fanart collection otherwise they don't have to post just do that, and our current one hasn't so I suppose try a couple of mods, who knows might be mates with Leon so cbf doing it cause Leon wants to keep it but cbf doign anything which is truly undeserving :zaru

Pretty proud we're still active regardless of no owner XD.

I'd like to be owner, I've showed constant activity :zaru, I don't randomly post replies to everything because I don't always have anything to contribute that hasn't already been said so I wouldn't judge me on my post count :zaru.

Still, most of us aren't on the list its so shit, I think I am under Chibi_Reno Lol, but yea most of us aren't on there and its shit, there's many fics that highlight Ino's abilities which shoudl be added (although alot are couplie, like a NaruIno one which replaces Ino as Sakura in Team 7, but its really well written.) and so many new fanarts emerged since Prince Leon cbf updating.

[Mikecia]

I think either one from that list will do a great job. I hope a mod comes to decide. There are no shippuuden pics on the first page :D:.

[WwhiptailwW]

Who ever does become owner should only post the names of the people who regularly post here- I mean it would be such a hard job to go back through alllllll those pages and find every single member who's ever joined!
I really am happy for more or less anyone to be owner- juturne, Mikecia, Sean, David... Most of you :)

@twilight
Darn, I need to up my game! :zaru (Unless I become owner, in which case I'll have to no longer be a tard)

@ghstwrld
Huh?

[Karsh]

^There should prolly be made clear on the first page that anyone interested in joining should send the new owner a PM :hurr

Lol I would certainly never blame a character since characters don't have a mind of their own :lmao
And Sakura being one of Kish's favourites? I must say this is news to me.
It's a good thing, if anything, considering how having any compliments thrown at a female character or having them outshine their male counterparts in this series is a rarity. :hurr

let me make this clear its obvious that kishmoto dosen['t like hot girls for example ino, im really sick of the author pushing ino to the back ground like seriously, in part 1 when they were gennins everybody got equal spotlight like they were shown from time to time but in part 2 shippuden it was all about team 7 they had like that first 30 episodes to themselves and not only that but naruto keeps on making so freakin gay speech about how hes gonna bring sasuke back. seriouly they should stop focusing on team 7 and go on to some other team like team 10 espically ino. in the atsuki fight the freakin author alrdy made asuma die and he still makes team 10 look bad by doing nothing. as much as i like naruto i really hate how naruto makes that freakin speech and compares himself to everybody he meets for example, sora, the sea monster girl form part 1, SASUKE, any many other ppl. back to ino now, ino has to be tie with sakura because back in the data book 1 and 2 inos stats were higher then sakura's and they were still tie. sakura shouldnt even get a freakin 3 in ninjustu bitch dont know any except healing

plus ino is a million time hawter than that bitch

Calm down, first of all this is not and anti-fc so we shouldn't be bashing other characters. Second of all, what happened in part 1 is in the past: you compare it to the future to how the characters have developed, they and their situations don't have to be the same. :hurr

I agree that it would be nice to see more of other characters like Ino since it makes the story feel a lot more well rounded. :hurr

no when kish pushes character to the back ground it makes people hate the character kishmoto pushes back, i went to the naruto poll and clicked on which is the worst character and 50%said ino and most of them said that inos not bitchy and mean but just useless and then he makes everybody think that. and nearly all the naruto movies are about team 7 but never about team 10 except for movie 2( do not include shiiipuden 3), rock lee, neji, hinita, shino, shika and sai appeared in movies. and notice how ino is the only one without a solo moment while everybody gets to fight someone on thier own? Even chouji got a solo moment, team guy fought themselves, team 8 hinta took out this bug user(emeney clan of shinos clan) shino took down like 5 ships by himself, kiba fought ukon and sakon, shikamura got alot of solo moments, team 7 always get to fight someone on thier own BUT WAT ABOUT INO

oo didnt now about that, my first time here and u jsut told me after i posted my second comment

[Stella Loussier]

um okay...

[DragonBlade]

you know its all been in good fun :D

[Karsh]

Lol ILOVERNBMUSIC, I understand your frustration. :hurr

For what it's worth not everybody hates Ino, we're here supporting the character right? At least she's shown to have her good qualities then.
The series is far from over, there will be many opportunities for her to show up, even if the manga is clearly about Naruto and to a slightly lesser degree, team 7, so I wouldn't be expectant, but hopeful.
Just be patient. :hurr

[DragonBlade]

im just waiting for ino to take that step too far with chouji. i wanna see his reaction

Eh, Still going off like that comes across quite arrogant,

I mean; there are ways you could talk in which makes you seem intelligent, and pointing out points not I HATE TEH KISHI sorta thing.

Fact is, Ino is a secondary character, and will be treated as such. People that dislike her only remember the fact she was jumping on Sasuke, thus she gets called a slut. It's funny, because one action like that and they're a slut? Karin gets better treatment generally and she's done ALOT worse.
I think it's the stereotype that Ino is put into, fact she's obsessed with looking good, and did that; she is fitting of the stereotype blonde bimbo, but I think it's not true, her first appearance was interrupting a fight to save her friend who ended their friendship over a guy, pretty pointless, even though she thought she would get hurt or killed in it, she did it to save Sakura.

Ino's brave, loyal and confident. :iria

And by Forbidden, it means no one here agrees with the idea of outright bashing characters. So unless you want to get treated like shit cause we hate you for constantly bashing characters and making Ino fans look like anti everyone else it's best you don't bash other characters :zaru

Yo kidloco! Welcome new member I was going to comment on your post and tell you to be careful but some of the other members addressed that plus you're new so I'm not going to jump on you :P. At any rate, welcome!

[Sean★]

Haha :iria I Ino'd it up with my straightforward way of speaking :ho

That reminds me, anyone proud of her in the Sea Arc filler where Isaribi was getting paid too little for the fish, and Ino spoke up saying it was high quality fish and he's underpaying her, I know it's filler but it made me proud of Ino :iria

And also, not sure what number ending it is, 12 or 13 maybe. But the Yellow Moon ending, when their on the mobile phones looking all sad... naww I love Ino for it, I dunno why, just seeing her looking solemn, more depth as a character sorta thing; like I wanna see something get to her like that... just like sorta helpless and depressed looking, like emotionally. Not bawling :zaru

The Ino FC is intended for discussion about Ino and no other characters. You can discuss about other characters when you compare them with Ino or if they're related to her somehow. However, you have to keep it cool for the FC well-being... No bashing is allowed in the FC forums, otherwise you're in an "Anti-FC". :)

I used to bash Karin in here, just like you bashed Sakura, but not anymore. Let's just talk about our lovely and beautiful Ino-chan, y'all! :amuse

[spectre991]

Lol I would certainly never blame a character since characters don't have a mind of their own
And Sakura being one of Kish's favourites? I must say this is news to me.
It's a good thing, if anything, considering how having any compliments thrown at a female character or having them outshine their male counterparts in this series is a rarity.
When I said "blame" a character i meant to say that you can't say the character( in this case Sakura) has a bad character or personality. Neither can you say she seems like a bad influence on Kiba.

And actually you can "blame" a character. If a writer wants his character to be a bad person or someone with bad moral qualities then yes you can blame the character. By blaming that character you'de be praising the writer for being successful in his creation. You can "blame' a character in a story the same way we can discuss their "personality" and characteristics".

For example consider Hamlet or Macbeth or any other famous character from literature. We do discuss their characters and personalities. Some viewers blame them for being emo-ish while some others say they were simply victims of fate and blah blah blah. My point is we don't say "they are made by Shakespeare, they don't exist. So why are we discussing their characteristics"? We discuss them because characters in literature are meant to be "dissected". If the writer can properly reflect what he wished to show by the character then the character is "successful" thus the writer is successful as well.:zaru

Now why won't this go for a manga as well? What if Kishi wants Kiba to be a character who always jumps to conclusions too early? What if he is planning to prove Kiba wrong by making Ino do something useful? Then we can blame Kiba for being an ar*e and by doing so we'll be praising Kishi in the process. On the other hand if Kishi doesn't intend to make Kiba look like a person like that then we can say Kiba is being flourished the wrong way and Kishi is making him look stupid without a reason. Thus we'll be blaming Kishi in the process.

The above para is an example and shouldn't be considered as character bashing. If necessary insert "X" instead of Kiba and "Y" instead of Ino as names.:)

I only said all this because I wanted to make my line clear! Man I love to type, don't I?

The series is far from over, there will be many opportunities for her to show up, even if the manga is clearly about Naruto and to a slightly lesser degree, team 7, so I wouldn't be expectant, but hopeful.
See you said it yourself the manga is about team 7 in a slightly lesser degree then we can say members of the original team 7 (which includes Sakura) are Kishi's faves!:P

And yeah I would also love to see some more females getting praised and outshining other characters, specially some male ones. But the praise better not be given by making another female look bad in the process!:amuse

[WwhiptailwW]

If you HAVE to bash a character (which you shouldn't) then at least put it in spoiler tags.

I've just realised that Part 1 Filler arcs/scenes LOVED Ino.
In her fight with Sakura, they added an extra portion at the beginning in which Ino caught a kunai that Sakura threw at her, and flung it back smile-big Ino also bitch-slapped her :laugh
Then there was the Sea Arc (which Sean was talking about) in which Ino once more looked great. There were a couple of scenes in which she was either knocked out easily, or needed Shino to help her, but I believe she saved Naruto at one point and also Shino.
Additionally, that Sumo Twin Filler Arc was good. The ones when they escaped from Prison. It supplied us with some superb ISC action!

And then we get to Part 2... all that is undone by making Ino look like a mere academy student :facepalm Not good

[ghstwrld]

Now why won't this go for a manga as well? What if Kishi wants Kiba to be a character who always jumps to conclusions too early? What if he is planning to prove Kiba wrong by making Ino do something useful? Then we can blame Kiba for being an ar*e and by doing so we'll be praising Kishi in the process.

Thus we'll be blaming Kishi in the process.

Huh? Are you serious?

The Leaf powwow in chapter 459 opens with Ino crying and she continues to do so for the duration of the scene. (http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/chapter-459/page005.html)

How is exactly is Kiba jumping to conclusions too early? :lmao

[WwhiptailwW]

^ ghstwrld! Tone down the abruptness :wth:gun Although I think you're right, but I also think that spectre just phrased it incorrectly.

[David1822]

Spectre is right, don't take ghstwrld's words too seriously everyone... He/she (I don't really know what to call ghstwrld) is always rude. No wonder I was labeled as a "ghost" by our friend here... :zaru

Ino cried, indeed. But for those who've been sleeping over the past weeks, Kiba jumps to a conclusion too early! Here's the proof: http://media.onemanga.com/mangas/00000004/000235172/01.jpg

Just because Ino cries, it doesn't mean she's not prepared for the worst. :facepalm

I agree :ohpek
Ino has so many good qualities about her, it's just easy for people to decide to overlook them because a) aknowledging her too positively makes it more difficult for their own favourite ship/character to outshine her and b) Ino- and thus her qualities- aren't shown to us as much as other characters.

When I said "blame" a character i meant to say that you can't say the character( in this case Sakura) has a bad character or personality. Neither can you say she seems like a bad influence on Kiba.

And actually you can "blame" a character. If a writer wants his character to be a bad person or someone with bad moral qualities then yes you can blame the character.

I only said all this because I wanted to make my line clear! Man I love to type, don't I?

I ultimately don't blame characters for doing what they do.
Perhaps it's because we're looking at the word 'blame' in different ways.
Sure, if a character is to blame for something, it is their fault, but I do not blame them on a personal level like in the way you wrote it out as when I addressed what you said:

Sakura is passive in this Kiba incident and has nothing to do with it the same way it's not shika's fault if kishi makes his team look like fodder to make him look good.

Following this, it isn't Kiba's fault that he has made the discussion spring up about whether Sakura was better than Ino or not, either. :hurr
I also don't think that is what he meant anyway.

I believe that what Kiba said was just simply a typical boy-thing to say.

See you said it yourself the manga is about team 7 in a slightly lesser degree then we can say members of the original team 7 (which includes Sakura) are Kishi's faves!:P

Of course this is, to a lesser degree, about team 7 since it is Naruto's team. Doesn't mean they are all automatically Kish's faves since Sakura hasn't had such a fantastic part throughout the series.
Apart from the fact that Sasuke and Naruto share this strong bond and apparently have this destiny revolving around each other, they completely outshine the rest of team Kakashi both in part 1 and part 2, no doubt about it. It's logic, since that's how it started off as and seems to be the way it will end as well, but it doesn't make Sakura or Kakashi his faves as well just because they were all part of the same team.

And yeah I would also love to see some more females getting praised and outshining other characters, specially some male ones. But the praise better not be given by making another female look bad in the process!:amuse

Indeed, that would defeat the purpose of breaking the Naruto pattern of males being better than females!

Ino cried, indeed. But for those who've been sleeping over the past weeks, Kiba jumps to a conclusion too early! Here's the proof: http://media.onemanga.com/mangas/00000004/000235172/01.jpg

Just because Ino cries, it doesn't mean she's not prepared for the worst. :facepalm

True. We just don't know enough about Ino and what brought her to act the way she did, to label her as anything.
Even if she cried, what is so bad about crying for one whom she apparently cared for? Why should she be condemned? I dunno.
Besides, it isn't her place to spring up and meddle into team 7's personal affairs either, I'm sure she'll do what she has to do when her role in this Sasuke situation comes about.
It's as the saying goes, "don't judge a book by it's cover" and people seem to enjoy springing up and trying to insult Ino's character for any inventedmissteps. It's unfortunate that people seem to tend to search for Ino's negative side rather than the positive.

[spectre991]

How is exactly is Kiba jumping to conclusions too early?
You're missing I used "what if" in front of my line. Take another look at the line you quoted. I didn't mean that to say that I am sure Kiba is jumping to conclusions. You know when we say "what if Sasuke was less emo?" do we necessarily mean Sasuke isn't emo?

^ ghstwrld! Tone down the abruptness Although I think you're right, but I also think that spectre just phrased it incorrectly.
Come on Whip! Don't tell me you missed the "what if" and the "then" as well!

@David : Thanks! Sometimes I just don't choose the best words!
I ultimately don't blame characters for doing what they do.
Perhaps it's because we're looking at the word 'blame' in different ways.
Sure, if a character is to blame for something, it is their fault, but I do not blame them on a personal level like in the way you wrote it out as when I addressed what you said:
Yep we're looking at the word "blame" from different angles. I am looking at it from the angle we criticize a character in literature while from your angle it seems to mean bashing and not constructive criticizing. Believe me on this, I am only seeing this from a literature based POV. I know when fandom blames a character they bash him/her on personal level (blaming a manga character that way is ridiculous) but I am not doing that.

You can count on me on the fact that I don't blame characters on personal level either. As about the part you quoted, I didn't mean to blame a character on personal level. Neither did I mean write it out that way. Like I said, when I use the words "blame" and "fault" about a character I mean it from literature POV not the fandom POV. It's just that sometimes my English fails me when I am describing my opinions.:zaru
Following this, it isn't Kiba's fault that he has made the discussion spring up about whether Sakura was better than Ino or not, either.
I believe that what Kiba said was just simply a typical boy-thing to say.
I also don't think that is what he meant anyway. Kiba probably didn't want to be rude about Ino but he ended up sounding kinda rude anyways. Oh well in the end that's nothing serious but one thing is for sure... maybe Kiba judges people too quickly and that's not a good quality IMO.

Of course it's not Kiba's fault/credit if his remark is interpreted by fandom differently and springs up the Sakura vs. Ino conversation. But jumping to conclusions might be considered his fault.:zaru

[ghstwrld]

Noted, spectre991.

[Sean★]

Meh, it's mentioning Ino. To be honest, I'd prefer Ino mentioned then not at all, and hopefully she'll rise above it, being secondary I doubt it but it would be nice. And the fact that she's constantly being mentioned and knowing Ino "not losing in Ninjutsu or love" thing, hopefully she'll overcome this :zaru

[Karsh]

It's just that sometimes my English fails me when I am describing my opinions.:zaru

Happens to most of us =P

Of course it's not Kiba's fault/credit if his remark is interpreted by fandom differently and springs up the Sakura vs. Ino conversation. But jumping to conclusions might be considered his fault.:zaru

True, all things aside, I was pretty annoyed at Kiba's comment myself. :hurr

And the fact that she's constantly being mentioned and knowing Ino "not losing in Ninjutsu or love" thing, hopefully she'll overcome this :zaru

Go Ino :ohpek

[kidloco]

hi fc, Ino will come wiht new determination and new learning mostly in the interrogation and sure will be part who get danzou and make him interrogate everything and make him cry like a baby

[DragonBlade]

LOCO!!!!!!!!!!! :wtf

[kidloco]

dragon!!!! onemore year of live :ano

i want my 25 againg!!!

[Karsh]

Lol Kidloco I had to see where the sigrabbit-hole ended :lmao

[DragonBlade]

dragon!!!! onemore year of live :ano

i want my 25 againg!!!

im confuse you has b-day recently?

[kidloco]

today >_> there are a thread about it...

lol kars, is that long? i can make more if want lol, and i may put Ino in my sign one of the day.. is my second girl i love, first is sakura, what i can do, :lmao

what weapon can be look good in ino?

[Karsh]

today >_> there are a thread about it...

lol kars, is that long? i can make more if want lol, and i may put Ino in my sign one of the day.. is my second girl i love, first is sakura, what i can do, :lmao

what weapon can be look good in ino?

Happy birthday :hurr

Lol do you mean iside Ino or her weilding a weapon :lmao

[kidloco]

only weapon can inside of Ino is my... wait.. :tehee :p

inside and wielding oh yeah thanks you :D

[Karsh]

only weapon can inside of Ino is my... wait.. :tehee :p

inside and wielding oh yeah thanks you :D

I'm just teasing =P

Hmmm, anything from a katana do an axe, she looks good anyway :hurr

As long as it isn't a triangle.

[kidloco]

axes i dont think so (that for sakura chan already)

but katana is one good choice

[Karsh]

I guess characters have been placing dibs on weapons? :lmao

There is a pic of Ino with a rifle, but I dunno if she's missing enough clothes =P

[kidloco]

is look like that beside

please dont hate me or get mad

but about axes, ino-chan may not good using axes in the full power, she strong but not that strong like sakura chan, please hear me about, not for favorites but canon, she have the same streng of baachan (damn my chex mix go to my table and floor.. and is babacuer savor..) and is more easy to her use a big badass axes and use is the most destruction way, i mean teh full potential, while Ino is strong knough but in axes (rebemebr axes have a hihg weight, mostly) can be not use in full, beside Ino-chan wiht otehr weapon who is less wieght is more acurate in her, mostly in her body movement and sexyness, sakura chan have too but we know like naruto is raw power in confront fighting, but not change she can use it, but will be not in full, you know what i mean right?

[Karsh]

Why would I hate you :lmao

I can understand that due to Sakura's kind of fighting prowess, which is her strenghth, it would be more suitable for Sakura to weild a heavier weapon :hurr
Ino would probably be better off with something which requires more attentiveness like kunais and slimmer swords. :hurr

[kidloco]

yeah, but she may use light weapon for second choice (or just use her scaple and finish fast or medical knowglege)

we know anbus use katanas and special weapons

but interrogation ones, what weapons use mostly in a battle to get the prisoner or enemy and in same time interrogate him

[Karsh]

Perhaps a chain and scythe then, to keep the enemy in her grip :hurr

[kidloco]

that just what i think but dint rebember the names (english sometimes kick me, better kidloquiano :lmao) that will good but, the problem is she may hate scythe for hidan fault and maybe if she use it rebemebr asuma death.. who knows but chain is good one (sakura will use axe wiht the chain junto hehe)

[Karsh]

No worries about the language, you're trying and that's good. :hurr

Hmmm someone could choose to use it because it would be a rememberance, but a chain used right can do a lot of damage on it's own. You can put just about anything at the end of a chain though. :hurr

[kidloco]

i know that why in sakura fc i said sakura if get teh axes will have a chan wiht a defend thing for have two weapons in one and have attack and defent method too like in saint seiya in andromefa clothes, you see two chain, one for atak and one for defend, hey ntot bad idea, Ino use the same idea but not uisng the whole clothes but only the arm wiht the chain and using chakra to control it, cool, i may see the same for sakura chan in sakura fc to see what happen :D

[ILOVERNBMUSIC]

was is a fodder? cuz u guys said that team 10 is a fodder and idk wat that means so can some0pone explain

[kidloco]

you not had ask that wuestion before??

team 10 is not fodder, they have diferent type of job like others team, that not mean is fodder, some poeple are stupid

fodder mean one character who use only for a plot not jutsu and never use it againg

[Karsh]

i know that why in sakura fc i said sakura if get teh axes will have a chan wiht a defend thing for have two weapons in one and have attack and defent method too like in saint seiya in andromefa clothes, you see two chain, one for atak and one for defend, hey ntot bad idea, Ino use the same idea but not uisng the whole clothes but only the arm wiht the chain and using chakra to control it, cool, i may see the same for sakura chan in sakura fc to see what happen :D

Awesome :3

was is a fodder? cuz u guys said that team 10 is a fodder and idk wat that means so can some0pone explain

In reality fodder is livestock feed, but used around here it's to say when a character's only purpose is to fuel the main character's actions and or to move the plot along.

I wouldn't go as far as to call team 10 that though, they've had their own semi-substatial roles at least.

[Karsh]

you not had ask that wuestion before??

Someone else did a couple pages back :hurr

[kidloco]

hey in the part of Ino use i want to said Ino can use the idea of teh chain and the gougle

i think my explication is better, i mean fodder are some char who is use for one time and never come back

and team 10 had a specific type of job who is important to the villages like others teams

[DragonBlade]

happy b-day LOCO!!!!! :wtf

[kidloco]

[ILOVERNBMUSIC]

Awesome :3



In reality fodder is livestock feed, but used around here it's to say when a character's only purpose is to fuel the main character's actions and or to move the plot along.

I wouldn't go as far as to call team 10 that though, they've had their own semi-substatial roles at least.

some guy wrote it be4 i just copied off of him

[DragonBlade]

i like inos buttocks

[WwhiptailwW]

Come on Whip! Don't tell me you missed the "what if" and the "then" as well!



Fine. I won't come to your defense anymore :hmpf

Does anyone know if a chapter is coming out this week? I refuse to go near the spoilers, but seeing as no one has been talking about spoilers, I'm not sure.

[spectre991]

^I needed defending? But from how I see it I wasn't even in a row or anything. Anyways don't abandon poor defenseless people like that!:cry

There won't be any chapters this week. It was written in the last page of last week's chapter.

[WwhiptailwW]

^ Uhhh... I'll just drop it. I think we've got mixed wires here.

But yeah, I guessed as much :/ Meh. It's not like Ino was gonna do anything cool anyway :shakefist

[David1822]

Well that's time in my life I'll never get back, if your gonna be tools, PM eachother, that was just a waste of Ino FC time -_-.

I second that. :notrust

[Shiho]

I second the last post that Whiptail made and I third David's post above mine.

[spectre991]

Come on everyone, we shouldn't lose hope yet. Honestly there is still a long way to go.:noworry

Though if it was Kubo Ino would have got some time already but Kishi can be too much fixed on some characters.:(

[David1822]

I want Ino to be trained in Genjutsu. :hmpf

[kidloco]

ok one question when you said uyou lose you life was for the manga or the talk in here??

lucky i was in good mood and not said nothing becuase i dint know was me or the manga XD

oh yeah i ask about what weapon will use Ino in the future

[Karsh]

Course there's plenty of time for Ino to appear, and I'm sure she will.
Just I'm not all that sure about what kind of panel space we're talkin about here :awesome

[ILOVERNBMUSIC]

I want Ino to be trained in Genjutsu. :hmpf

skilled as kurani or itachi then that will show that ino dosen't suck because we never seen her fight in shippuden

[kidloco]

i hitnk better in weapons

[David1822]

skilled as kurani or itachi then that will show that ino dosen't suck because we never seen her fight in shippuden

Maybe more skilled than Kurenai, but she'll never be on Itachi's level. It's just too much. :amuse

[spectre991]

Ino's best chance is genjutu or ninjutsu. She won't get to Itachi's level... then again Kurenei or even Kakashi's gen level would be enough for me.

Her tai is 1.5 according to DB 3. It's impossible to use weapons with that kind of tai level.:(

[kidloco]

but maybe if she train in tai and increase maybe she will use the weapons, who said person cant use weapons? wiht a determination and training she will can use it

beside if she get training wiht anko, i sure her tai will go up so much

[ILOVERNBMUSIC]

REMEMBER THIS IS NOT BASHING BUT IT WAS SAID THAT MEDIC NIN KEEP THIER DISTANCE IN BATTLE BUT SAKURA DOESNT AND INO DOES SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY? o YEAH SHINO is pretty strong,I wonder why the 3rd data book had 21 for his stats, thats weird?

[David1822]

Don't take the DB's stats too seriously. :) Anyways, Sakura is a close-combat kunoichi and it's the fighting style she inherited from Tsunade. When it's a one-on-one battle, there's no point keeping her distance from the opponent. When it's a team, usually, medic-nins keep their distance.

If you remember, Tsunade taught her how to dodge attacks... That's the main purpose why Sakura is a close-range ninja. If she enters close-combat, she'll dodge her opponent's attacks.

Ino is a mid/long-range ninja. In other words, she's as a support ninja. That's the difference between those two. :amuse

i see but i still believe ino should be a pro at gen to show that shes just as strong as sakura cuz after all no rivials can be stronger then each other

[David1822]

Hopefully Kishimoto ears you and remembers that Ino and Sakura ARE still rivals... It doesn't look like it lately, though. :(

[Sean★]

We need a user of genjutsu among the Konoha 12, we have Sasuke I guess but he's off by himself, so one among them wouldn't be bad, and she has her knife as we've said recently, so she may be using some sort of weapon, or it could be for medical ninjutsu, but who knows. Although its prob just for design, but meh gives us a little to think about.

And depending on any teacher Ino gets she'll grow into it, so taijutsu isn't off the table. Although its unlikely I'd see Ino as a fighter type like Lee. Genjutsu then strike...

[ILOVERNBMUSIC]

I think in a interview kishimoto said that hes gonna be writing alot about sakura, kakashi and sasuke and he said naruto can wait and im thinking how about the other character? DO u think any chance kishi might show team 8 team 10 team guy soloing each bjiuu as a team while sakura and naruto takes on sasuke?

[spectre991]

Sasuke isn't in the Konoha 12 right now. After all Konoha 12 has to be in Konoha. That leaves the gen user spot vacant. If Ino can grab that she would get a chance to do something unique as well as useful.:zaru

All chunun have that knife but some don't carry that. Anyways the thing is that knife isn't that special. It's more like a fashion statement than anything.

If Ino uses Tai then she would get shrouded by Lee, Neji, Tenten, Hinata, Kiba, Chouji... the list goes on and it would be much better if she just gets gen. After all her mind rape seems pretty compatible with gen.:noworry

@David : Well Ino has no actual lng range skill. Mind transfer is low to mid range and it's simply not practical enough in most combat cases.

@Ilovernb : That would be like a dream come true! That's almost too good to be true... the interview was real, right?

[sweets]

Medic ninjas are trained to stay away from danger, and accurately avoid attacks when necessary so that they aren't harm, thus damaging the teamwork within the squads. Ino does right by this rule as she doesn't meddle in battle because her job is to only heal. She has no effective defense/offensive jutsus to use otherwise, therefore it's primarily her job to take back.

Sakura's not supposed to interfere as well but only in a one on one battle; which she had never participated in. That's basically her flaw.

True, I'd like to see her do anything to be honest Lol. But genjutsu would be cool to see, the Naruto Accel Ino is scarred in my head, with her acrobatic taijutsu and genjutsu combination, it'd be heaven if she actually applied it.

And yea, her Mind Transfer does seem similar to genjutsu, like affecting mind, and I'd like to see her with a stun skill like genjutsu so she can use her mind transfer, or just get the next step up of Shintenshin already -_-.

[David1822]

DO u think any chance kishi might show team 8 team 10 team guy soloing each bjiuu as a team while sakura and naruto takes on sasuke?

Honestly, I don't think so. Some things are meant to be and I'm pretty sure he'll never make Ino grow stronger... After all, "the only thing she could do was cry"... It's pathetic, I know, and hopefully I'm wrong about this, but Ino is meant to be the fool of the story.

So far, we've seen some improvement from all the rookies, except Ino (apart from medical ninjutsu). Every one of them fought in part 2, except Ino... Kishimoto had a lot of opportunities to make Ino shine and he wasted every one of them. :( That's why I think Ino will always be Sakura's shadow...

According to his own words in the 3rd DB, "She never skips her daily training, and she spends day after day working hard. Ino knows even the largest, most glorious flower needs to earnestly reach towards the sun to expand, and grows little by little every day...". Is this what Ino is going through? Maybe we'll see some improvement once Ino becomes a Jounin. /sarcasm

@David : Well Ino has no actual lng range skill. Mind transfer is low to mid range and it's simply not practical enough in most combat cases.

I meant that Ino is a long-range shinobi because she has to keep her distance from the opponent, I wasn't talking about her jutsus' range. :amuse She's weak when it comes to Taijutsu, so entering close-combat would be foolish.

Sakura's not supposed to interfere as well but only in a one on one battle; which she had never participated in. That's basically her flaw.

Well, the only way she managed to defeat Sasori with Chiyo was to enter close-combat, as Sasori is a long-range fighter. She dodged almost every attack back there, but yeah, Ino has no offensive jutsu, so it's wiser for her to keep her distance in battle.

[WwhiptailwW]

I'm a huge fan of the Kingdom Hearts Series, and there is a girl in it that can manipulate people's memories. Although she is fairly useless in combat, she was once able to defeat someone by shattering their memories, therefore knocking them unconcious...
It'd be cool to see Ino do something similar :) Or she could make people's minds implode :ho

[David1822]

^ That would be awesome! :hehee

[spectre991]

@Iloverrnb : Thanks for the link! I'll check it out once I squeeze the time.

Well I have actually only played one Naruto game in my life (I find games based on manga, anime, movies etc. pretty bad) and there Ino(shippuden version) is this sneaky super crazy "hybrid" who looks fragile and weak on first sight. But once you see her uber assasinating stun, quick healing(though that IS weak) and sneaky tactics you gotta think twice. I wouldn't mind at all if Ino became like that. But she would need Shinranshin and gen.

sakura had a lot of one on one battles, she fought alot of people in movies and she soloed this gen user during the sora filler

[Mikecia]

Not cannonly though. Movies and so forth are all filler.

[Krix]

Some fillers though, gotta admit that they are alot better than canon. :(

[Mikecia]

Most definately. I wish they would give Ino a good filler.

[MariaS17]

Yeah I don't care if it's filler or not I just want to see Ino doing something useful.

[Sean★]

Nono, Ino in filler = Shit chakra control, lesser then Hinata and Sakura :ho Apparently. :yell Pissed off.

But yea, a filler that used Ino when she did more then heal, or do poorly would be nice.

A filler with Ino, Shikamaru and Sakura would be awesome, like a collect information mission on Akatsuki or something, Shikamaru binding enemy, Ino taking over and finding out info and Sakura as back up in case any thing bad goes down and need healing. It has a male on the team so male viewers aren't isolated (well young boys) , it needs to happen! They said Ino is supposed to use her shintenshin it for information and shit, then show a filler with her using it for that, revolve it around the Akatsuki, throw in Itachi, Tobi and Pain in the mix of the story and it'd be awesome!

[WwhiptailwW]

Or at least make the fillers a bit more consistent by showing her using the Shinranshin again. I'm beginning to think that Part 1 Ino>Part 2 Ino

[twilight]

I second that.

[ILOVERNBMUSIC]

i jsut thought of a great move
it would be to let ino make her opponents mind see stuff like anything and illusions, and then once that person is off guard she can do whatever she likes to him/her , and i think kishmoto should do that becuz its a fair technique, it isnt as bad as what itachi has cuz his genjustu is fucking scary
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

Well, it revolves around Genjutsu anyway, which I'd like to see Ino using in the battlefield. :amuse

On another note, I just read the unconfirmed spoilers of this week's chapter (sent by someone who usually posts true spoilers) and no Ino this week either! However, it seems like Sakura will lie to Naruto about her feelings, saying that she found out that she loves him after all. Isn't that cute? :notrust

The spoilers should be confirmed by tomorrow, so stay tuned for hot news, Ino-lovers! :ohpek
