Yamanaka Ino

Ino is a confident, bold and energetic girl who is used to taking initiative in the team. She is proud of her appearance, continues to watch her weight and tease Choji about food, but behind this outward sharpness lies a deep devotion to her comrades. As she gets older, her rivalry with Sakura becomes more friendly, and they restore their former friendship, although they still exchange barbs. Ino still has feelings for Sasuke, but after meeting Sai she quickly shifts her attention to him, finding a resemblance to the object of her former affection. She becomes more mature and responsible: she takes on the role of medic in the team, cares for the wounded, sincerely grieves Asuma's death and promises to look after Shikamaru and Choji. Ino has a strong sense of duty and is not afraid to take risks, even when her technique makes her vulnerable. She also demonstrates leadership qualities, coordinating allies through telepathy. In the most difficult moments of the war, Ino retains optimism, cheers up friends and mourns her father, but continues to fight.
