Ino Yamanaka (山中いの, Yamanaka Ino) is a member of Konohagakure's Yamanaka clan. She and her fellow members of Team Asuma are their generation's Ino–Shika–Chō trio.
From a young age, her father, Inoichi Yamanaka, raised her to embody the meaning of the bush clover, which symbolises a blunt, candid love.[8] She was raised to treasure the bonds that she has with her friends, which led her to become good friends with Sakura Haruno.
In the Academy, Ino was considerably more popular and self-confident than Sakura when they met. She convinced Sakura that hiding the size of her forehead was pointless, saying that it only made her look worse. Ino gave Sakura a red ribbon to draw attention elsewhere, suggesting that Sakura had great potential, but had yet to reach it. In the anime, around this time, Ino, along with Chōji and Shikamaru, went searching for a set of kunai Chōji lost. During their search, they met a mysterious boy named Yota. They soon learned to their amazement that Yota had the ability to manipulate weather, especially through his emotional state. Fearing how the village would respond to an outsider considering how turmoil it had with the other nations, Ino and the others decided to hide Yota's existence, giving him shelter in a treehouse and regularly bringing him food.[9] She also defended Sakura against her would be bullies Ami, Fuki, and Kasumi, pretending that the flowers she had launched into Ami's mouth, which she said reminded her of a vase, were poisoned. This lead to ongoing arguments about Sakura's "Billboard Brow" and Ino's nickname "Ino-pig" (due to her name, Ino, meaning 'boar'). Despite all these arguments, she helped Sakura gain her confidence. When Sakura became attracted to Sasuke, and found out that Ino was attracted to him as well, Sakura ended their friendship, hurting Ino in the process, so she could compete with Ino for his affection.[10]
Ino is relatively cheerful yet pushy to the people around, especially her team-mates when she doesn't have her way. Ino also takes a great deal of pride in her appearance, which is evident even during her younger days in the Academy. She also takes great effort to keep up as well as improve her appearance, as seen from her constant dieting to lose weight in the belief it will make her more attractive.
Ino tends to take charge of her team-mates due to their lazy and nonchalant natures like when she suggests that Chōji should lose weight or Shikamaru needs to stop slacking off. She, however, clearly cares for them, as shown by her relief when Chōji survived near fatal injuries. Shikamaru, despite thinking of most girls as "troublesome", typically offers no resistance, being unwilling to deal with how she reacts if she is unable to have her way. Asuma recognised the control she has over the others, and, while dying, told her to look after Chōji and Shikamaru, to ensure that they didn't get into trouble as well as to keep the two on the right track, and also not to lose to Sakura in neither ninjutsu, nor love.[11]
Ino often thinks about boys. She was attracted to Sasuke and cried when he was declared an international criminal, showing that she still cared for him despite his descent into darkness. It is hinted that she still loved him during the Fourth Shinobi World War, when she pictured him as the "love" that the bush clover symbolises. When he returns, Ino runs towards him, only to be stopped by her team-mates Shikamaru and Chōji. In the anime, after Naruto defeated Pain, she said she could almost fall for him. She is also attracted to Sai, partly because he looks very similar to Sasuke. She flirts with him when first introduced. In fact, she is so attracted to them that she dreams in the Infinite Tsukuyomi that both Sai and Sasuke were fighting over her.
Despite these faults, she has great compassion and care for her friends, especially shown with Sakura. Even when Sakura ended things between them so they could compete for Sasuke's affections as bitter rivals, Ino later rekindled their friendship again during the Chūnin Exams, but they are still considered rivals by many. She is also very confident, kind, outspoken, and not afraid to speak her mind.
By the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Ino has demonstrated more bravery and confidence, so much so that she was unfazed when told by Shikamaru how powerful the Gold and Silver Brothers were. She even told her team-mates to man-up when their resolves began to waver. Keeping to the promise she made to Asuma, Ino has resolved to put her life on the line, to protect her team-mates and her village no matter what. By the time her father died, he believed that she had truly blossomed into the bush clover of the Yamanaka family, and is proud of her bonds with her friends.
Years later, Ino's attraction for Sai deepens and the two get married, also having a son named Inojin. As a married mother, her personality remains largely the same as she easily scares her son for being late. At the same time, she has developed a great respect for her clan's traditions and legacy, very adamant about passing on the Yamanaka techniques to Inojin and continuing the custom of forming a new generation of Ino–Shika–Chō.
Ino has fair skin, green eyes (blue in the anime), and long pale-blonde hair worn in a ponytail, with bangs framing the right side of her face. Her hair is seen in different lengths: in Part I, her ponytail extends to her waist, but it is later cut and grows to shoulder-length; in Part II, the bangs grow to cover half of her face, her ponytail becomes waist-length, and she sports a red clip on the left; in the The Last: Naruto the Movie, her hair is hung loosely and extends to her calves; as an adult, her hairstyle returns to its shape in Part II, but her ponytail reaches her upper-back and sports a black clip. As Ino gets older, she is noted by Sai to become quite beautiful.[12]
In Part I, Ino wears a purple high-collared blouse with a matching apron skirt, and bandages on her abdomen and legs. She wears her forehead protector as a belt, has small hoop-earrings and donned purple and white elbow warmers, though she abandons them later on. In Part II, Ino wears a similar purple outfit to the one in Part I, though it is slightly more revealing as she has abandoned her bandages and forehead protector. She also wears mesh armour on her thighs, elbows and knees, and replaces her hoop earrings with studs, a gift from Asuma Sarutobi. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Ino dons the standard Konoha infantry flak jacket and assorted clothing. In The Last: Naruto the Movie, Ino retains some parts of her outfit from Part II, but now wears a longer skirt that reaches her ankles, high-heeled sandals and pink lipstick.[13] By adulthood, Ino wears her purple outfit with one mesh warmer on her left arm and open-toed sandals. She also dons the standard Konoha uniform while on missions.[14]
Ino was noted to be an exceptional kunoichi by Asuma in Part I.[15] Her father stated that she has the potential to become the greatest member of the Yamanaka clan.[16] In Part II, Ino became a medical-nin and a chūnin, further showing her growth. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, she gained praise from her father on her improved skills.[17] Ino has great sensory skills, enough to detect changes in another person's chakra.[18][19] She can lock onto an enemy's chakra's signature and transfer the information to her allies for their benefit.[20]
Chakra and Physical Prowess
Although not at Sakura's level, Ino is skilled in controlling her chakra, able to flow it through a medium in order to bind targets. By Part II of the anime, her chakra control improved enough to help perform the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier,[21] as well as transfer her chakra to others.[22] Though Ino rarely uses taijutsu,[23] she has proven to be fairly skilled as shown in her match against Sakura during the Chūnin Exams[24] and when she held her own against a reincarnated Asuma,[25] who is a highly skilled taijutsu user himself. Ino also showed impressive strength and speed, being able to tackle Chōji (with an enlarged arm) away from Asuma's extremely fast Wind Release: Dust Cloud Technique
Ino learned medical ninjutsu over the time-skip and was noted to have mastered it by Part II;[3] the anime shows she trained alongside Sakura under Tsunade's supervision.[26] She has proven skilled enough to diagnose the severity of an attack with just a glance or during healing.[27][28] Ino's nature transformations include Earth, Water, Yin and Yang Release.[4]
Yamanaka Clan Techniques
As a Yamanaka, Ino specialises in mind-affecting techniques such as the Mind Body Switch Technique, which allows her to briefly possess a target and control their actions. Her body however, is left vulnerable until she cancels the technique. Ino can also be forced out of the body if the opponent's will is strong enough. Ino has been shown using this technique on animals for reconnaissance and espionage, as it was originally intended.[29] In the anime, she is able to use the Mind Body Disturbance Technique to force her enemies to attack each other.[30]
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Ino's skill with the Mind Body Switch Technique has improved greatly:[31] she can target enemies who are briefly immobilised,[32] or possess targets quickly enough to save her allies from incoming danger.[33][34] Ino has also learned the Mind Clone Switch Technique, which allows her to control multiple targets at once.[35] With the Mind Body Transmission Technique, Ino can communicate telepathically with multiple people at once, convey memories and feelings to others or transmit what she senses into a target's mind.[36] By making physical contact with a person, the targets can also communicate with one another while the technique is active.[37] In The Last: Naruto the Movie, her range has expanded enough to receive and broadcast messages around the Earth in a short period of time.
Ino is quite intelligent, graduating at the top of her class in the Academy alongside Sasuke Uchiha and Shino Aburame. She is knowledgeable about flowers, ranging from practical uses to individual symbolic meanings.[38] During her fight with Sakura in the Chūnin Exams, she turned the battle in her favour by simply cutting her hair to bind her enemy. The anime shows that Ino is very attentive, able to determine a person's occupation by glancing at the condition of their hands.[39] During Pain's Assault, she concluded that Pain's real body must be around the village for his technique to work.[40]

Part I
Chūnin Exams
Though making a few brief appearances earlier in the anime, like getting mad at Naruto alongside Shikamaru for having all of them perform a technique, and racing Sakura and their rivalry towards Sasuke, Ino made her début during the Chūnin Exams. When the Rookie 9 gathered up in a room for their first exam, she threw herself on Sasuke, saying that she had missed him, much to Sakura's dismay. During the first phase of the exam, she used her Mind Body Switch Technique to enter Sakura's mind and memorise all her test answers, then sent her mind into Chōji and Shikamaru's minds to give them the answers.
In the Forest of Death, her team was considered the weakest one. They hid behind bushes so as to not get involved in any conflicts. When she and her team found Sakura left to defend herself from Team Dosu alone, she began to to recall the memories of her childhood with Sakura when she helped Sakura from being bullied, forming a friendship and becoming rivals for Sasuke's affection. Shikamaru asked her if they should help Sakura, to which finally she decided to. She and her team stepped in for Sakura and an unconscious Rock Lee to fight off the Otogakure-genin. She used her Mind Body Switch Technique on Kin Tsuchi, thinking to use her body as bait to get her team-mates to give up. However, it utterly failed as they were willing to kill their own team-mate forcing Ino to release herself from Kin's body. When Sasuke awoke, he forced the Oto-genin to retreat. After fixing Sakura's hair, she is seen carrying a wounded Lee, until Tenten jumped down and took him out of Ino's care. Later, her team was one of the few genin teams to make it to the tower, participating in the preliminary exams.
Ino's first match in the preliminary exams was against Sakura. The two did not battle seriously at first since Ino still cared about Sakura, until Sakura, unwilling to have Ino pity her, denounced her even though she didn't want to hurt Sakura. Ino and Sakura battled seriously afterwards, and used up most of their energy in the process. Ino then attempted to enter Sakura's mind after cutting her hair and sending chakra into it to immobilise her. She succeeded and was about to make Sakura raise her hand to forfeit, but was expelled by Inner Sakura. Low on chakra, Ino and Sakura charged at each other for one last attack, and knocked each other out, resulting in a tie with both of them being eliminated. During Tenten's and Temari's match, they regained consciousness, and rekindled their friendship, but still maintained their rivalry over Sasuke.
Ino accompanied Sakura to visit Sasuke in the month between the preliminaries and the finals as they both picked out flowers for him, but found that he was gone. They went to visit Lee as well, only to find him outside, doing push ups when he was supposed to be in bed. She went to the finals with Sakura, and noted that Sakura's team was extraordinary, after seeing Naruto defeat Neji. When there was no sign of Sasuke, Sakura started getting depressed. Ino tried her best to keep Sakura in high spirits, and to cheer on for Naruto. She also cheered on Shikamaru when he fought Temari, but was visibly shocked when he chose to give up and quit the match and let Temari win. When the invasion started, she was rendered unconscious by Kabuto's genjutsu.
Konoha Crush
Ino can be seen at the Third Hokage's funeral alongside the other villagers, mourning his death.
Mizuki Tracking Mission
In the anime, when Mizuki escaped from jail, Ino along with her team-mates saved Naruto from the Legendary Stupid Brothers and took over the battle so Naruto could aid Iruka. Ino tried to possess one of them and was knocked out. She then used her new technique, gaining the advantage. Then Ino and her team-mates used their new formation. Soon they realised they couldn't defeat the brothers, but they were able to resist until Tsunade showed up and defeated the escapees easily.
Academy Student Lead Mission
In the anime, Ino was assigned to lead a team of three Academy students on a survival exercise. Her time with them was not covered much except that she was doing better than Naruto.
Kaima Capture Mission
In the anime, she accompanied Naruto, Shino and Anko to the Land of the Sea, and helped defeat Misumi Tsurugi, by possessing him and tying his arms to pillars, leaving him trapped in a collapsing room. Ino then used Mind Body Disturbance Technique on Yoroi as he attempted to attack Shino, allowing Shino to punch Yoroi away. When Yoroi attempted to attack Ino, Shino sent his bugs after him, thus defeating him.
Matchmaking Proxy Mission
In the anime, she appeared in a mission with Naruto, in which she tried to replace Princess Fuku who had grown overweight in an attempt to woo her suitor Chikara, the daimyō of the Land of Noodles. Ino was barely able to stand the man, but the mission succeeded after Naruto accidentally exposed the real princess. Ino briefly revealed an Inner Ino (内なるいの, Uchi Naru Ino) due to her anger, similar to Sakura's "Inner Sakura", during this episode.
Konoha Plans Recapture Mission
In the anime, Ino and Sakura were sent to examine a corpse that was believed to be that of Gennō. Ino hesitated, but eventually entered the room, and concluded, from the condition of the hands, that the corpse was not a ninja or a carpenter, and that Gennō was still alive. After the group found Gennō, she attempted to possess him when he tried to make his escape on a summoned bird; while he let go of the bird, Ino was unable to maintain the technique, as she noted that he had been suffering terrible pain the entire time.
Sunagakure Support Mission
In the anime, when the Four Celestial Symbols Men kidnapped Gaara's student and Sunagakure asked Konoha for aid, Ino accompanied Shikamaru to help Temari in her battle. Ino's attempt at immobilising their opponent, Kujaku, failed, leaving her at risk. Kujaku later was defeated by Shikamaru and Temari's combined efforts. Feeling guilty that she did not contribute much to the mission, she asked Sakura to ask Tsunade to add her as a second apprentice. Sakura agreed, but added that Ino would have to acknowledge Sakura as a senior apprentice, resulting in Ino refusing (which led to yet another fight).
After Naruto left the village to train, Inoichi began training his daughter more extensively in the Yamanaka clan techniques to better continue its traditions. Growing discouraged at the prospect of this training taking years, Ino decided to skip her training, using Chōji's discharge from the hospital as an excuse. To her surprise, Ino learned that all her friends were spending much of their free-time training. Finally, Ino decided to ask Tsunde to train her. Tsunade agreed to take Ino on as a student under the condition that she first pass a resuscitating test within three months. Despite numerous failings, she was making steady progress, due in part to Ino's continued rivalry with Sakura, until finally succeeding. Now officially a student of Tsunade's like Sakura, Ino asked Sakura what made her take this path. Sakura simply said she wanted to be an equal team-mate on missions to her allies. Amazed at everyone else's determination to improve, Ino decided to stop worrying about the time it took to grow and began training more arduously.[41]
In Naruto's Footsteps: The Friends' Paths
In the anime, about two years later during Naruto's absence after he left the village with Jiraiya for training, Konoha decided to host an early Chūnin Exams alongside Sunagakure. As Team Asuma was one team-mate short since Shikamaru was already a chūnin and therefore ineligible, Ino asked Sakura to be their third member.[42] Once entering the exams, Ino and her team were randomly split into different rooms to take the written test. Shikamaru, as proctor, explained that everyone only needs to answer one question on the test, but their team's combined score must equal exactly 100 points to pass. Ino telepathically contacted her team-mates to discuss which question each should answer.[43] After time is up, Shikamaru reveals a bonus question that must be answered unanimously. Each team was asks what member of their respective team would be chosen to be a decoy and the one picked will be disqualified. Ino contacts her team again as they see through the ploy. Ino's team ultimately passed the first exam. However, as there were too many participants left, a preliminary round was held so only the first 30 teams to arrive in Sunagakure would qualify for the second exam.[44]
Ultimately, Ino's team were among the first 30 teams to make to qualify. The following day, the second exam began. Each teams was given either a Heaven or Earth scroll. They were all required to within three days to obtain a matching set and bring them to the main building in the centre of Demon Desert.[45] On the third day of the exam, Team Asuma lost their provisions in a previous fight and went for an oasis to replenish themselves. After Ino and Sakura got into another heated argument, their bickering quickly ended by the attack of another giant scorpion. Sakura surprised everyone by defeating the creature with a single punch. Afterwards, Ino healed Sakura's hand from the attack. As they used the scorpion's meat as new provisions and commented on each other's growth, they reasserted their desire to pass the exams.[41]
Not feeling the provisions were enough, the team continued their way to the oasis. Before arriving, they were cut off by a Suna-team. Ino attacked first, letting the enemies counter and knocked out. While the enemies then engage Sakura and Chōji, Ino, who feigned being unconscious, begins sensing the enemies' movement and telepathically informs her allies. Soon seeing through Ino's ploy, they erect a barrier to disrupt her sensory skill. Remembering what her allies and teachers taught her, Ino improvises by linking minds with her allies, allowing them to counter-attack and defeat the Suna-nin. While the Suna-nin admit defeat and offer their scroll, Sakura notes that it is unneeded as they already have two matching scrolls.[16]
Later, while Sakura collapsed from continuing her chakra training, the team was attacked by another Suna team. The leader of the team, Saya attacked with a small doll as her puppet. After snatching some of Ino's hair, she possessed Ino's mind and forced her to attack Sakura. As Saya's team-mates began to be overwhelmed by Chōji, Saya cancelled her technique on Ino and turned it on Chōji. Ino explained that Saya's technique is similar to the Yamanaka clan's own mind techniques, much to her annoyance. Ino then used her technique to enter Chōji's mind and attempt to free him.[46] Ultimately, Ino succeeds and expels Saya from Chōji's mind, much to Saya's horror. After which, Chōji regained control of himself and attacked the enemies, forcing them to retreat.
Later, with Ino and Chōji still exhausted from the last skirmish, Saya's team soon returned, keeping Ino and her team pinned down in a sandstorm while attacking them with sand puppets. The Konoha-nin easily dealt with the sand puppets, until one of them was revealed to be Mamushi in disguise and poisoned Ino and Chōji. Afterwards, building up enough chakra, Sakura propels herself out of the sandstorm and defeat the enemies with a single strike.[47] Later, Team Asuma was caught in a massive sandstorm.[48] Ultimately, the team was rescued by the Suna-nin proctors and brought to a building to wait out the storm before resuming the exams.[49]
After the storm passed and the second exam was concluded, it was learned that the Chūnin Exams were ended early due to controversy happening in the second exam. Instead, it was decided by Gaara that a report on each participant would be sent to their respective village leader for them to decide if they would be promoted. Upon returning to the village, Ino and her team-mates were all promoted to chūnin status.[50]
Part II
Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission
Ino made her first reappearance shortly after Team Kakashi and Team Guy returned from the successful saving of Gaara, having come to retrieve Chōji for their mission with Asuma. Before that, Shikamaru, Chōji, and Naruto were fighting against the new face Sai. Chōji told Ino that they were fighting against a weirdo, to which she thought weirdo was being referred to Naruto. She called out his name, happy to see Naruto since she hasn't seen him for a very long time. She appeared again after Naruto and his team returned from their failed attempt to retrieve Sasuke. Kakashi was in the hospital, and Team Asuma went for a visit. Upon meeting Sai, she quickly became interested in him, also noting that he resembled Sasuke to Sakura. Sakura agreed, but told her that his personality is different, and not in a good way.
When they all went out to dinner, Ino attempted to get Sai's attention with some subtle flirting. When Sai tried to befriend Ino and Chōji, having earlier come to the conclusion that women (specifically Sakura), didn't like to hear how they really looked, Sai tried the opposite approach by calling Ino "gorgeous", of which is the opposite of what he wanted to say. This resulted in Ino blushing, and enraging Sakura, who Sai had previously called "ugly".
Twelve Guardian Ninja
Main article: Twelve Guardian Ninja (Arc) In the anime, when Furido's 4-Man Team invaded Konoha, Fudō resurrected some ninja. When she, Chōji, Kiba and Rock Lee joined Genma, he told her to back-up for the medics. She carries on her duties, healing the injured ninja when Shikamaru soon came to ask her the situation. Afterwards, she and him joined the others to help defeat the zombies. Arriving on the battlefield, Ino recognises the tattoo the zombie-nin bare, explaining that these shinobi were from the Kohaku Clan — a clan which was massacred near the Land of Fire's border and one of many villages that have been attacked as of late.
Later, after defeat the zombies, she and the others joined Naruto, Sakura and Yamato who are fighting Sora in his jinchūriki form. After Chōji hands were burned from touching Sora, she used her Mind Body Switch Technique on him but failed to possess him because of the Nine Tail chakra and said that there's no sign of an human heart left inside of Sora. When Sora attack the group, Yamato used his wood technique to protect them. After he loses the Nine-Tails' chakra, Ino and the others comforted him, and bid him farewell.
Akatsuki Suppression Mission
When Tsunade decided to make a move against Akatsuki, Ino was assigned, along with Chōji, to a Nijū Shōtai team, led by Raidō Namiashi and Aoba Yamashiro. Ino and Chōji arrived as back-up for Shikamaru and Asuma in their fight with Akatsuki members Hidan and Kakuzu. When the duo retreated, Ino tried to tend to Asuma's injuries, but the damage to his body was beyond repair. The team couldn't do anything but listen to their sensei's final words. Before dying, Asuma said that Ino is strong-willed and a reliable child, so she should take care of Chōji and Shikamaru since the pair are clumsy. Asuma also told Ino not to lose to Sakura in ninjutsu or romance. Ino then reminisces about her memories with Asuma especially her first days with him as a student, and when she noticed that the bouquet of flowers that Asuma bought were for Kurenai, much to his surprise. After the death of her sensei, Ino screamed with grief and cried on his chest. She was later seen at Asuma's funeral, mourning Team 10's loss alongside Chōji, asking him why Shikamaru hasn't showed up to the funeral.
Shikamaru, Ino, and Chōji all agreed to avenge Asuma. Under the guidance of Kakashi, Team 10 later set out to face Kakuzu and Hidan. By using her Mind Body Switch Technique on a hawk, Ino was able to quickly find the Akatsuki duo so Shikamaru's plan could begin, but doing this nearly got her killed after Kakuzu attacked the hawk forcing her to return. During Team 10's fight with Hidan and Kakuzu, Ino was unable to provide much support for her teammates, due to her Mind Body Switch Technique being too much of a risk to use in battle, as stated by Shikamaru. In the anime, she saved Chōji from a fatal blow by Kakuzu before getting grabbed by the neck and was almost choked to death along with Chōji, but they were saved by Kakashi and Shikamaru.
After Naruto arrived along with Sakura, Sai, and Yamato, Ino expressed joy and relief that her friends had come. While Sakura and Sai set out to help Shikamaru, Naruto, with the help of Yamato, defeated Kakuzu with the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. She then healed Naruto and commended him for his constantly growing skill. In the anime, after the teams returned back to the village, Ino visited Hinata's and Neji's Home and explained to them what happened, specifically about Naruto's new technique.
Three-Tails' Appearance
Main article: Three-Tails' Appearance In the anime, Ino is placed on Team Three to seal away the Three-Tails. To join her was Sakura, Hinata Hyūga, and Shizune who was the leader. This sealing process took proficient chakra control and since Ino trained as a medical-nin, explains why she was put on the team. When her team practised the sealing technique, she had difficulty withstanding it. But after a short speech from Sakura she stood back up, more determined than ever to complete the task.
When her team located the Three-Tails, they started the actual sealing. As the sealing begin to work on the tailed beast, Guren closed in to disrupt the sealing. Ino begin to get nervous and started losing concentration. Shizune instructed her to relax and focus. Soon enough Rock Lee and Tenten arrived to protect her team from Guren and Rinji. Ino however still remained unfocused and broke hold from the seal and thus disrupted it. When the beast awakened, he emerged from the water bringing forth a tidal wave and breaking the whole seal.
Later, Ino is found unconscious on Lee's back who carried her from the water and lays her on the beach. Waking up she felt frustrated of how useless she was. She was also seen helping Sakura heal an ill Yūkimaru. Not long after, they tried sealing the beast again, but were unable to complete it. The task is then left to the Anbu members.
Pain's Assault
When Pain began his invasion, Ino rushed to her father's location to inform him and all those present of the attack. Having learned something about Pain's identity, Inoichi realised that Pain was animating dead bodies in a manner similar to his own clan's mental manipulation techniques. Ino deduce that the true Pain is in a remote location somewhere relatively close by. Then, they tried to escape, to avoid capture. Despite their attempt, Pain's Human Path arrived and captured Shizune, finding out what she knew, before killing her. Ino had mourned for a while for her fellow sensei.
After Pain destroyed the village, Ino tried to revive Shizune, but could do nothing to help her, and regrouped with her father, Shikamaru,Shikaku and Shiho. She blames herself for Shizune's death but Shikamaru says that they should focus on the location of the real Pain. After the death of Nagato, she was shocked to see that Shizune was brought back to life. She was then present at Naruto's return, and celebrated with the villagers for his victory. In the anime, she even says that she could almost fall for Naruto, surprising Chōji and Shikamaru.[51]
Past Arc: The Locus of Konoha
Main article: Past Arc: The Locus of Konoha
Five Kage Summit
When news of Sasuke's affiliation with Akatsuki reaches Konoha, the Konoha 11 gather to discuss what should be done about the affair. The others suggest that they should personally eliminate Sasuke to prevent him from implicating Konoha in a war with the other major villages. Upset by this, Ino cries and was being comforted by Chōji and Tenten. Kiba demanded her stop crying by shouting at her, but she was defended by Tenten. Ino was later seen with the rest of the Konoha 11, hearing Naruto's decision about Sasuke when he returns to the village. He later promises to tell them everything when the time was right.
Main article: Power (Arc) In the anime, Ino arrived as back up for Team Kakashi, and took care of an injured Sakura. With assistance from her team-mates, she later battled a snake clone of Hidan made by Kabuto Yakushi. Though Hidan began to get the upper hand he died out before any further action could take place. Later the Konoha-nin said their goodbyes and departed.
Paradise Life on a Boat
Main article: Paradise Life on a Boat In the anime, Ino along with Sakura and Chōji were assigned a mission to retrieve medical herbs from Benisu Island. While there, they bump into Naruto, who stopped by the island from his journey to the Land of Lightning with Yamato, Might Guy and Aoba Yamashiro escorting him. Naruto decides to help them out with finding the herbs. A little into the search, she makes fun of Naruto's lack of knowledge of flowers. They are soon confronted by the three ninja from the island who are also after the same herbs they are. The two groups compete over who gets it with the Benisu ninja staying ahead of them. After saving the ninja from a giant creature, they give the Konoha-nin some of the herbs they retrieved.
Road to Sakura
Main article: Road to Sakura
While on a stroll during her day off, Ino pondered how to spend the day before finding Sakura falling from the sky after a flash of bright light. Helping her out of a tree and taking her to Tsunade for medical attention, Ino is shocked to find out Sakura has amnesia as she tries to keep Tsunade and Shizune from killing her blank friend for pointing out their bust sizes. In her attempt to help jog Sakura's memory, she and the rest of the Konoha 11 present themselves in the way she remembers them: By acting the complete opposite of themselves. After the attempt failed, Ino helps Sakura look for her necklace until they encounter the latter's parents as they have found the item in question. After Sakura strangely cries as she embraces her parents before they leave, Ino learns that the Sakura she has been with all day came from an alternate reality. When the alternate Sakura fades away, Ino is left severely confused as she wondered where her real best friend is.
Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation
When the Fourth Shinobi World War begins, Ino is placed in the Fifth Division. Ino and other members of her division are later sent to provide support for the First Division. Ino meets up with Shikamaru and Chōji - sent as backup from their own division - and they team up to help Darui fight Kinkaku. Shikamaru restrains Kinkaku with his shadow. Kinkaku almost breaks free but Ino is able to use the Mind Body Switch Technique to transfer her consciousness into his body, saving Shikamaru. In order to capture Kinkaku with the Kohaku no Jōhei, Darui says Kinkaku's name and Ino forces him to respond. As Kinkaku is sucked into the Kohaku no Jōhei, Ino returns to her body. Her watching father compliments her on this improved timing.
The trio next prepares to engage the reincarnated Kakuzu. Shikaku instructs them to leave Kakuzu to others and instead focus on Asuma, who had also been reincarnated. Chōji is reluctant to fight their late teacher, so Ino reminds him of Asuma's final words to all of them. They confront Asuma and he comments on how much they have grown before they start fighting. Despite Ino's attempts to encourage him, Chōji still has difficulty fighting Asuma. As Asuma is about to attack Chōji, Ino pushes him out of the way. She then uses the Mind Body Switch Technique on Chōji and spars with Asuma, all the while reminding Chōji of their duty. Chōji eventually pulls himself together and Ino returns to her body. As Chōji goes on the offensive, Ino uses her Mind Clone Switch Technique on two White Zetsu to use against Asuma. Asuma is defeated, and before being sealed he congratulates them on their perfect team-work.
The battle continues into the night and Ino assists Chōji in defeating the rest of the reincarnated ninja. When the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path attacks she takes cover with her team. After that attack subsides, Ino is seen planning with the rest of her team and Tenten. The next morning, Ino and the rest of the shinobi present are seen standing in circles. This was a countermeasure against the White Zetsu Army clones that had invaded their ranks until Naruto could come and differentiate them. Ino asks Shikamaru if they couldn't simply ask each other personal questions but he says no as there was a possibility that the enemy could guess the answers. In the anime, the silence it quickly halted by the reincarnated Sound Four, Orochimaru's personal guard. Shikamaru tells Ino and the others to stay behind as they still can't be certain of who to trust with the White Zetsu still looming. Shikamaru and Chōji then head off to confront their old enemies. Familiar with the Oto ninja's skills, Shikamaru and Chōji quickly defeat them. However, their victory is short-lived when Shikamaru, Chōji, and the Sound Four are engulfed in a strange technique. Ino then found her team-mates unconscious and with no chakra flow. Knowing that they wouldn't last long like that, Ino began to transfer her chakra to them, despite the danger of doing it simultaneously between two other people. After contacting her father, Inoichi deduces the truth of the technique, that it removes the victims soul and transports it to another location. He then explains it can be dispelled like genjutsu, by pouring chakra into the actual technique. However, it has a seal that prevents even Inoichi, equipped with special enhancement tools, from being able to detect or communicate with them. Eventually, Naruto found the barrier and destroyed it, allowing Inoichi, telepathically, to dispel the technique and free the Konoha ninja. Upon Shikamaru and Chōji awakening, Ino tearfully hugged them in relief.
The battle continues on as when they spotted White Zetsu clones and fought them off. It suddenly starts to rain while it is sunny that's when Shikamaru spots a crying boy then huge amount wall of rain falls on Shikamaru that is preventing him from moving. Chōji uses his Multi-Size Technique to block it while Ino helped Shikamaru up. Shikamaru then uses his Shadow Neck Bind Technique to bind him and as he does the rain starts getting worse preventing them from moving and causing their techniques to weaken. As that happens the boy started calling their names as then Ino questions how does he know them as Chōji doesn't know him and neither does Shikamaru. The boy then came up to them and plucked their foreheads after that happened they realise that its Yota. Shikamaru questions why he is reincarnated then the boy started to cry and the rain stopped then a big wave of it washed them away that made him realise that he can't control his actions just like Asuma. Yota then started shooting rain bullets that's pushing the trio back and thinking do they have to fight him.[9] Ino contacted her father and asked to link her to Sakura and found out that she was also fighting Yota along with Kiba and Akamaru. She also found out that Naruto was fighting him and was told that those were not him just White Zetsu clones so she helped Chōji and Shikamaru defeat him and it reverted to a clone.
She then calls out and waves at Naruto when he arrives. After being informed by her father at HQ that Naruto and B were fighting the "masked Madara", Ino and the rest of the Konoha 11 rush to his aid. As she runs, she thanks her father for relaying Naruto's feelings to everyone and promises that she'd make his foretelling of their victory a reality.
Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax
Arriving just in the nick of time, Ino with Hinata's guidance was able to take control of Obito in time to veer the Ten-Tails' would-be fatal attack off course. Though she laments that he was able to break a perfect Mind Body Switch Technique in only a matter of seconds, Hiashi Hyūga told her she did a great job, having managed to shift the attack. She stood alongside the rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces to face their opposition. With their attempt to immobilise the Ten-Tails ended in failure, Ino listened on, crying, as Shikaku imparted what would be his final battle strategy via her father as a Tailed Beast Ball was sent hurtling towards HQ. Ino listened to her father's last words to her, which stated that she had truly blossomed and her bonds with her friends reflect the meaning of the bush clover which she was raised to embody. After, Shikamaru reminded her that they were still in the midst of battle, and that they didn't have time to grieve. She later learns of Neji's death.
After Kurama had gathered enough chakra, Naruto sent shadow clones to Ino, and the rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces to distribute Kurama's chakra to them. Upon receiving the chakra, Ino is enveloped in it, and after the Akimichi clan stops the Ten-Tails' movements, she quickly used her Mind Body Switch Technique on Obito again and after taking control of his body, she was able to alter the course of an attack that was headed for Chōji. Later, when Shikamaru and the other Nara clan members captured the Ten-Tails with their Shadow Imitation Technique, Ino released her technique and returned to her body.
Later on, as the Ten-Tails once again prepared to obliterate the Alliance, Shikamaru requested that Ino use her telepathic skills to link him to Kitsuchi, to which she obliged, grateful that Shikamaru had finally devised a strategy. With his plan being to teach the entire army the seals to the simple Earth Release wall technique and then using it to block the Ten-Tails' attack, he then asked Ino if she was able to relay this telepathically to the other shinobi on the battlefield. She responded bluntly that it wasn't a question of was she able to do it, as she would do it no matter what. With some strain, Ino is able to contact all the shinobi and relay the seals necessary to the Alliance for the technique before performing it herself alongside her comrades. Though the situation still looks dire as their feeble earthen defences are destroyed by the Ten-Tails' massive Tailed Beast Ball, and even a transformed Killer B proves incapable of stopping the attack, the Alliance shinobi are shocked when the attack simply disappears, unbeknownst to them that the Fourth Hokage had arrived on the battlefield.
With Sasuke soon appearing on the scene too, Ino is shocked to see him, and rushes over to inquire as to why he is here, but is stopped by Shikamaru and Chōji who warns her that he's an enemy. Sasuke notes that she is still as loud as ever. Ino is then, along with the rest of her peers, completely bemused upon Sasuke's revelation that he will become Hokage. As Team 7 reunites, Ino smiles at Shikamaru, noting how nostalgic it feels, what with the Rookie Nine being together again, just like in the Chūnin Exams. She then charges at the Ten-Tails with her friends. With Teams 7 and 8 leading the assault, Ino looks on in disgust as Shino summons a giant parasitic insect to devour one of the Ten-Tails' clones. She then rallies her own team together, for them to perform Formation E. While Chōji uses his Multi-Size Technique, and Shikamaru uses the Shadow Clutch Technique on him, Ino uses her sensory abilities to lock onto all of the clones in the surrounding area, before using the Sensing Transmission technique on Shikamaru. With Ino acting as the mind, Shikamaru as the body and Chōji as the yo-yo, the trio perform the Human Bullet Yo-Yo technique, obliterating all of the surrounding clones. As Chōji prepares to double in size to strengthen his assault, Shikamaru states that the team has a lot more to show, with Ino then berating him for his sudden competitiveness with the other teams. She then urges Naruto and Sasuke on as she bears witness to their attack on the Ten-Tails. During this time, Ino questioned Shikamaru about whether or not something was troubling him, but he dismissed her.
Birth of the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki
As the battle against Obito continues, Ino once more telepathically links Shikamaru to the rest of the Alliance in order to boost their morale. With the situation looking grim as the Alliance was trapped in a barrier with a Tailed Beast Ball-firing tree, Ino and the other shinobi soon found themselves shrouded in the previous Version 1 mantles again. She and the other subsequently found themselves on the outside of the barrier, escaping the near-fatal attack thanks to Naruto and Minato's action. When the God Tree, the Ten-Tails' true form, launches a ravaging attack against the Alliance, Ino manages to successfully avoid having her chakra drained from her. Shikamaru, however, is not so lucky, and Ino and Chōji support their failing comrade. During this time, Hashirama calls out for a member of the Yamanaka clan to telepathically connect him to the whole Alliance, to which Ino complied. Realising that the five Kage were also within range of her technique, she then listened on as Hashirama's clone conveyed what the original had heard about the Eye of the Moon Plan from Madara. With the technique still in effect, Ino was shocked when Naruto's feelings and memories began being conveyed to the entire Alliance via the telepathic link. As the young man remembered the loss he had experienced, Ino sympathised with the loss of Asuma.
As Naruto joined Sasuke in a senjutsu-enhanced clash against Obito, Naruto's chakra begins forming around Shikamaru once again. While Sakura is amazed that Naruto is splitting his focus between fighting and aiding them, Ino corrected her. Ino explains that through her telepathy, she can tell that Naruto was focused purely on his battle, but subconsciously still desired to save his allies. From this strong will, Naruto's chakra was reacting to those it is infused with. She then watched in concern as Shikamaru struggled back to consciousness, and relievedly thanked Sakura for her efforts once he returned to full strength as well as Naruto. When Tsunade, with Sakura's assistance, summons one tenth of Katsuyu's body to the battlefield, the Hokage orders Ino to relay this to alliance, an action she promptly carries out.
Obito manifested a gigantic Yin–Yang shield and Hagoromo's legendary holy weapon and in order for it to be destroyed, Naruto created nine Rasengan in Kurama's tail and contacted Ino and the rest of Konoha 11 plus Sai to join in on it. Once near Kurama's tails, Ino and the others are enveloped in even more chakra which resulted them with the Tailed Beast Mode much to their shock. Naruto tells them to break down through Obito's defences with the Rasengan so he and Sasuke could have a direct shot at attacking him. Ino and the others launched their attack and Naruto and Sasuke were able to deal a devastating blow to him. Once again instructed by Shikamaru, Ino and the rest of the Alliance lent their strength in wresting the tailed beasts' chakra from Obito.
With Madara's eventual full revival and Obito's apparent incapacitation, Ino and the rest of the Alliance is approached by Tobi who overwhelms them with a massive Wood Release. As the Alliance struggles against this new threat, Ino reacts with shock and concern upon sensing the drastic weakening of Naruto's chakra when the Nine-Tails was extracted from him. Despite all of the Alliance's efforts, Ino is still caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. In the genjutsu, Ino dreamed of Sasuke and Sai fighting over her while her still-alive father watched his daughter with pride as she enjoyed herself, asking the two not to fight over her.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki Strikes
Ultimately, she later woke up once the Infinite Tsukuyomi was dispelled by Sasuke and Naruto after they ended the war.

The Last: Naruto the Movie
Main article: The Last: Naruto the Movie
Two years after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Ino watches in fascination at how popular Naruto has become since saving the world, noting to her team-mates that he has actually become a quality man. She later joined her team, Naruto and Sakura at Ichiraku's. Ino invites Hinata but Naruto's Fan girls came and Hinata runaway before she can give Naruto a red scarf. When the meteors begin falling on Earth, Ino uses her telepathy to alert Kakashi. Later, she receives a message from Kumogakure who planned to activate a Chakra Cannon and informs Kakashi what was happening at the Five Kage Summit. Following Toneri Ōtsutsuki's defeat, Ino announces to the Earth and its people that they were safe due to the efforts of the Hanabi Rescue Team. Sometime later, Ino is seen enjoying Sai's company while in Konoha.[52]
Sakura Hiden: Thoughts of Love, Riding Upon a Spring Breeze
Main article: Sakura Hiden: Thoughts of Love, Riding Upon a Spring Breeze Ino appears as one of the main characters, as Sakura's close friend and assistant. She and Sakura opened a clinic within the Konoha Hospital that would assess and treat children's mental health. Later, she invites Sakura out to a tea with her, but Sakura declines because she has paperwork she wants to do.
One week later, Ino and Sakura go to Sunagakure in order to open a clinic for children. On the way, Ino speaks to her friends about Shikamaru and Temari's relationship and tells her that Chôji often goes to Kumogakure, where his girlfriend Karui lives. Sakura asks Ino about her own feelings and she reveals her crush on Sai, but that she doesn't know how to express her feelings to him.
The two kunoichi meet a Suna shinobi who escorts them to their conference with the village's doctors. Afterwards, however, they are summoned before Gaara, the Kazekage, who informs them that Sasuke has been to Suna. Gaara repeats to them the conversation that Sasuke had with the terrorist group two days earlier, which he (who was surveying the group anyway) witnessed with his Third Eye. Although he, Ino and Sakura want to believe it was someone disguised as Sasuke, they can come up with no practical explanations for the man having Sasuke's chakra signature.
When Ino and Sakura return to Konoha, they inform Kakashi about the situation. Kakashi is also convinced that the man conspiring against Konoha was a lookalike of Sasuke, but he has no reliable way of contacting Sasuke in order to confirm this. He shares Gaara's recommendation to do nothing at the moment so that unsubstantiated assumptions can't be spread against Sasuke.
As Sai is investigating on Kido, Kakashi informs Sakura and Ino of the rumours about Sasuke's activity that have been reported by him. Ino is initially more concerned by the risks Sai may be facing, but Sakura steers things back to what the rumours mean for Sasuke. Since Sasuke was so instrumental to the victory during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the five Kage are still willing to believe it is not Sasuke planning against Konoha. However, if news of his actions gets out and public opinion turns against him, the Kage will be forced to do what they can to stop him.
Later, as Sakura with Sai's information think that Kido and Magire are behind the Sasuke impostor, Kakashi orders Ino, Sakura and Sai to team up, since they are investigating the same thing. Ino dubs themselves Ino–Saku–Sai and they promise to keep each other informed of their findings.
Later, Lee tells Ino and Sakura that he saw Anbu near the Naka Shrine two years ago. However, on their way to meet up with Sai, Sakura sees two Anbu trying to take Sasuke into custody for terrorist activity. She goes to them to lend assistance, either to free the real Sasuke or apprehend the impostor, but discovers that it is all a genjutsu. She dispels it, but is immediately injected with a drug that renders her unconscious.
Ino runs to Sai in order to inform him about Sakura's capture by Kido. Ino is embarrassed by his lack of clothes, since Sai was taking a shower before Ino's arrival. While he gets dressed, Ino contacts Kakashi and informs him of what's happened. He advises not getting anyone else involved in the rescue as that might only provoke Kido to kill Sakura. He also informs them that the Fourth Raikage is contemplating a Kage Summit to discuss reports of Sasuke's activity.
Sai and Ino go to one of Kido's hideouts and Ino senses the interior for Sakura's chakra. She isn't there, but Sai decides they should see what intel they can get anyway. Ino uses the Mind Body Switch Technique on the hideout's sentry while Sai captures them, her first time using such a tactic without Shikamaru or Chōji. When the sentry, an acquaintance of Sai's, is unwilling to answer their questions, Sai forces Sakura's whereabouts from him by tickling him with a paintbrush. They go to the hideout where Sakura is being kept, but find that she's already escaped and is on the offensive.
Sakura breaks out of the basement, through the floors above, and finally the roof with a single Cherry Blossom Impact. When she sees Sai and Ino, she tells them what she's learned about Kido and the drugs he's making. They are surrounded by many Anbu, Magire, and Kido himself, who tells them that he plans to sell his drugs not only as tools of war but as ways in which to cause those wars, thus giving him a never-ending source of revenue. Ino doubts that such drugs would ever have a market because the powers they grant are unearned, which Kido declares as naive, just like their clinic for children's mental health. He instructs his Anbu to use their synthetic tailed beast cloaks to either capture or kill Sakura and the others, no longer having a preference for their fate.
Sakura, Sai, and Ino work well together despite being outnumbered. Sakura is drawn into a fight with the Sasuke impostor, who chokes her using his synthetic tailed beast cloak. Sakura breaks free and, as she beats him unconscious, warns him to never impersonate Sasuske again. This has the added benefit of revealing that the synthetic cloaks disappear when their user loses consciousness; Sai and Ino also discover that the cloaks have time limits. Sai recommends they use this information to end the fight quickly.
Sakura, Sai, and Ino defeat all their opponents but Kido and Magire. Since Magire is a medic-nin, they decide to separate Kido from him so that Magire can't heal his injuries. Sai and Ino exchange attacks with Magire, but neither side is able to hit the other. Magire activates a synthetic tailed beast cloak and, with its tails, is able to create glowing orbs that detonate on contact. While Sai tries and fails to overpower Magire with his Super Beast Imitating Drawings, Ino takes control of an eagle which she uses to stab Magire from behind with a poisoned kunai. Magire's movements slowed, allowing Sai to deliver a finishing blow. Kakashi arrives to help soon after Magire is defeated, with Naruto and Hinata accompanying him. Together, they head into the forest to help Sakura. However, she defeat Kido with her Cherry Blossom Impact.
Ino along with Sai, Naruto, Hinata and Kakashi joined Sakura and congratulate her on her victory. However, they are interrupted by news that several of Kido's Anbu have fled the village. Ino and the others immediately give chase, but on reaching the Anbu they find them all defeated with a combination of fire and genjutsu. They guess that it was Sasuke's doing and that he chose not to stick around when he confirmed Kido was defeated. Although they're disappointed that Sasuke didn't at least say hello, they are glad that the entire ordeal is over. After Ino–Saku–Sai is dismissed by Kakashi, Sakura is called to a meeting with Suna-medics. Ino offers to go with her, but Sakura tells her to instead have lunch with Sai.
Konoha Hiden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding
Main article: Konoha Hiden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding Ino goes into a shop so as to buy a present for Naruto and Hinata's wedding. She reaches for a picture and is met by Sakura's hand doing the same. Sakura uses her superhuman strength to pull the picture frame from Ino's hand, to which Ino responds by claiming the picture frame is ugly and a terrible gift. The two get into an argument so heated that they are thrown out of the store, neither of them able to purchase the picture frame.
Ino blames Sakura for what's happened, insisting Sakura's unnatural strength and large forehead make her uncouth and, more particularly, unlikely to ever be married. Sakura is deeply insulted by the latter accusation and challenges Ino to a cooking competition to prove that she would make a good wife. Ino puts Military Rations Pills in Sakura's favourite dessert, anmitsu, and Sakura does the same in Ino's favourite dessert, pudding. The next day, Ino wants to use Chōji as an impartial judge. Chōji samples each of their soldier pills and finds them so delicious that he starts putting them into his mouth by the handful. He soon collapses to the ground with blood running from his nose.
Sakura suspects Ino put poison in her soldier pills, intending for Sakura to try one and fall deathly ill. Ino suspects the same of Sakura. In order to save Chōji they must identify the poison as soon as they can: each samples the other's soldier pills so that they can identify what type of poison it is. Neither can taste poison, but they do taste their favourite desserts, Ino loving the pudding in Sakura's and Sakura loving the anmitsu in Ino's. Chōji gets up soon afterwards, having finally recovered from his blood sugar overload, and he praises both of their soldier pills. Sakura and Ino reflect on their like-mindedness and how their competitions always push each other to be better. They therefore decide to go shopping together, helping each other find a gift even better than a picture frame. She later attends Naruto and Hinata's wedding, taking a photo of herself along with Hinata, Sakura, and Tenten. In the group photo with everyone else, she was seen holding Sai's hand, showing they were in a relationship at the time.[13]

She has begun training Inojin in the Yamanaka clan techniques and cooperation ninjutsu of the Ino–Shika–Chō trio to become part of its newest generation. Ino becomes irritated when her son and the others don't show up to practice and then discusses with Karui as to why practising the formation is important even in such peaceful times.

She muses about Chōchō's shock towards her father's changed figure. Ino is shown to be pleasantly surprised to see Sasuke again after such a long time, and greets him. However, when Ino talks to Sasuke, Sarada interrupts her, mistakenly believing the older woman to be attracted to her father, which amuses Sakura and confuses Ino.
Boruto: Naruto the Movie
Main article: Boruto: Naruto the Movie
While hanging out with Sakura and Temari one day, Ino watched as Naruto's shadow clones raced around to help out the villagers since he was too busy with other work. Ino later attended the final round of Chūnin Exams, sitting with Temari and Sakura. She seems exasperated when Shikadai gave up against Boruto much like his father did when he was younger. When Momoshiki and Kinshiki initiate the attack, Ino leaves the arena along with Hinata and Himawari. Later, Ino observes the battle that is going on between the Kage, Sasuke, and the enemies.

They were left behind to take down Hiruko's henchmen, San. They used Ino–Shika–Chō combination and easily took down the enemy. Shikamaru had Ino tell San that they aren't here to fight but to bring back Naruto and the others, after Ino used Mind Body Switch Technique and told San, he refused and said that he understands but he can't just pass the information on, forcing Team 10 to fight him.

Live Action
Live Spectacle Naruto
Main article: Live Spectacle Naruto Anju Inami plays as Ino in this stage play adaption.
|The Springtime of Youth wiki has an article about this topic:
- The name "Ino" is short for "Inoshishi" which means "boar" (猪), hence Sakura calling her Ino-pig-chan (いのブタちゃん, Ino-buta-chan). Her family name "Yamanaka" means "among the mountains" (山中). Wild boar are heavily associated with mountains in Japan, and are even called the whales of the mountains (山鯨, yamakujira), because of the amount of meat they produce.
- Her family owns a flower shop called Yamanaka Flowers, where she works part-time.
- In the manga, it was never revealed how or why Ino became a medical-nin. Her choice to study under Tsunade was anime-exclusive.
- Ino was ranked as the 29th most popular character in the seventh Naruto character popularity poll. She placed 14th in the fifth poll, 17th in the sixth poll and 23rd in the fourth poll. She finished 30th in the first poll.
- According to the first Naruto fanbook, Ino had the best overall grades in the Academy. She had the highest grade in assertiveness and the second-highest grade in ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, cooperation, and class attitude, being beat by Sasuke in ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu. However, in chapter 3, Iruka states that Sasuke's grades were first among all 27 graduates.
- According to the databook(s):
- Ino's hobby is shopping.
- Ino wishes for a rematch with Sakura.
- Ino's favourite foods are cherry tomatoes and pudding, while her least favourite is sashimi.
- Ino has completed 40 official missions in total: 23 D-rank, 9 C-rank, 6 B-rank, 2 A-rank, 0 S-rank.
- Ino's favourite phrase is "The many meanings of flowers" (花言葉の数々, Hanakotoba no kazukazu).
- Ino's favourite thing is the flower she gave Sakura when they were children.
- (To Sakura, when she asks her why she gave her a ribbon) "Because… I thought it would be a waste for you to wither away as a bud. There's no meaning to a flower unless it blooms. It might turn out to be… a flower more beautiful than a Cosmos."[53]
- (To Sakura) "Who're you calling "pig", you billboard brow?!"
- (To Sakura) "You've bloomed into a beautiful flower."[54]
- (To Chōji about Asuma) "Listen, I know how you feel… the three of us, Team Ten… We went on a lot of missions with Asuma-sensei. Shikamaru and I don't want to fight him either. But it's because we know him so well that we can stop him with the least risk to the army. Don't you remember what those earrings are supposed to represent Chōji?"[33]
- (To Shikamaru) "It's not a matter of can or can't, I'm doing it!"[37]

Reality Check: Hardee's Turkey Burgers
Reviews of fast food burgers and a look at how the real life version compares to the advertised beauty shot.
Hardee's has teamed up with Men's Health and the editors of "Eat This, Not That!" to create three delicious Charbroiled Turkey Burgers. They're just as indulgent as our other burgers, but all under 500 calories. Each sandwich is prepared with a thick, juicy turkey patty and is available in Original, BBQ Ranch or Mushroom & Swiss."
Hardee's, the sister company of western chain Carl's Jr (who's also offering a selection of turkey burgers), has a footprint that expands mostly over the South and Midwest; though some parts of the nation won't know either chain, the combined company, CKE Restaurants, is the fourth largest fast food chain in the country (after McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King). Hardee's lured me in to their restaurant last week with the promise of new turkey burgers. The promise: delicious burgers under 500 calories.
You know what? They might actually be an effective diet food. Because they're so unappetizing it's hard to imagine eating a whole one.
What's New On Serious Eats
The Mushroom and Swiss Turkey Burger has all of its contents in its title, and comes, like the others, on a whole wheat bun. It's the turkey that's the point of these burgers, but it's absolutely flavorless—a patty of ground nothing—with a strange, almost rubbery texture that bounces back a bit when you bite into it. The mushrooms also lack flavor, and the whole wheat bun tasted a little too sweet to be truly healthier than a regular bun.
The BBQ Ranch was slightly better; the barbecue sauce isn't anything special, but at least does something to disguise the turkey. I couldn't taste any ranch sauce, and frankly didn't know it was there.
Little surprise that the regular turkey burger was another dud, given that there was less to hide that patty. Not much flavor to be found anywhere, whether the turkey or the lettuce and tomato; all you end up tasting are mustard and ketchup on that oversweet bun.
The verdict? A total pass. They may have fewer calories than Hardee's burgers, but that comes at expense of any flavor whatsoever. It reminded me of the gruel in The Matrix: food that doesn't taste like anything because it has been engineered to be healthy.
If you're at Hardee's and don't want to eat more than 500 calories, get a Little Thick Cheeseburger. It's a little smaller than the inedible turkey burgers, but with the same number of calories. Hell, get a bacon cheeseburger and leave a few bites behind. Just don't fall for the turkey burger trap. They're not worth eating.

The system is made up of several main types of screens:
- Search screens:
- General
- Advanced
- Docket Search
- Daily Filings/Issuances ("Filed Date" or "FDR") searches
- Search Results page
- Request List
- File List
- Viewer
The General and Advanced searches use a search engine that searches many different file types such as PDF, Word, WordPerfect, Excel, etc. You can search using multiple search terms such as "and/or/not" (Boolean search), words that occur close together (proximity search), and words with similar meanings (synonym search). The Docket Sheet search consists of three related windows that allow you to quickly search for a specific docket. The first window allows you to search for sub-dockets, check for consolidated dockets and look for old (legacy) documents. The Daily Filings/Issuances ("Filed Date" or "FDR") search provides a quick way to find issuances and/or filings for a specific date. The search uses the filed date and gives you a choice to search by industry library or select all library categories. The Search Results page lists the outcome of the search, and can be sorted by date. From the results page, you can select items for printing, viewing, downloading (in a zipped file), or to be added to the Request List. The Request List allows you to do a search, select items from the results, add them to the Request List, then do another search, and repeat the process. When you complete all the searches, you can view, print, download all items or selected items from the Request List. The File List allows you to specify the individual pages of imaged documents you would like to see, to view the names of individual files in native format, and to access all of the individual files within a particular document. The Viewer allows you to begin viewing the first pages of a document before the last pages have been downloaded. The first page of multiple files can be viewed one after the other. With large format documents, such as maps and schematics, you can zoom in or out, magnify portions of the page, rotate pages, and select a page from thumbnail views. You can print a magnified selection as an 8-1/2" x 11" page.

Vancouver is a city of passion, at least through the lens of photographer Gary Loewen, who has spent countless hours walking through the city's streets, capturing candid moments of couples kissing.
His photos show the tender side of Vancouver, which has a perhaps undeserved reputation of being socially isolating, even unfriendly.
"The kissing represents the passion of Vancouver, a passion you don't normally see. Once I started looking for it, I started seeing it."
Some of the kisses were captured candidly, and a few are what he calls "re-creations," kisses he glimpsed, then asked couples to recreate for the camera.

Loewen, a Sunshine Coast musician and music teacher, grew up in Morden, Manitoba where his father had a darkroom and freelanced as a photographer for the local newspaper.
As a kid watching photos emerge in his father's darkroom trays, the camera was one of the lenses through which he saw the world.
But it wasn't until the hockey riots of 2011 that Loewen, a longtime amateur photographer, became hooked on seeing the world through the camera again. On impulse, Loewen joined the thousands of citizens that streamed into the city's downtown area and came together to help clean up. Instead of a broom and dustpan, Loewen brought his camera to document the plywood boards that covered broken windows, and the people who had come to reclaim their city.
It was the start of a new relationship between him and his camera. "We started going everywhere together."
Loewen has became a walker, taking "photo walks" six or seven hours long. He picks a tempo, and sets out without expectations. "I started hitting the streets looking for beauty or moments that interest me. I was tired of hearing the sound of my own voice complaining about Vancouver."
The relationship has now become a love story. Last year Loewen published 1,000 photos on his Flickr site — where he goes by the handle von Loewen — and took 136 photo walks. He says he has discovered a different Vancouver, one that is "spicy" and "exciting," and along the way he has documented the art scene, people on porches, block parties and lovers.
The kissing photos started in April and simply grew. Loewen's photos of Vancouver street life are not limited to kissing — they include thousands of people, caught in private moments in the public space of the street, and are a new addition to Vancouver's rich tradition of street photographers, from Foncie Pulice to Lincoln Clarkes, whose engagement with their subjects helps us to see our city, and ourselves in a new way.

I am really looking forward to a couple things from the Roundup. First, next weekend (9/4) is a Lambic by the glass event at Rich O's in New Albany. This is making me thirsty just thinking about it.

The release of our new specialty beer, Collaboration Java Porter, officially hit the taps on Thursday, August 27. This coffee-infused brew is the product of joint effort between LBC brewmaster, Greg Emig, and local coffee merchant, Jerry Kalal, of K. Dees Coffee. "We were looking for the right blend of coffee that would complement the flavors of a porter. Jerry's intimate knowledge of various coffee varieties, growing conditions and roasting methods made the process both fun and educational," commented Emig. The pair choose Killer Beans Brazilian Bombshell blend for the brew. Produced from the highest grade Brazilian shade grown beans, this organic coffee is deep-bodied with rich caramel flavors and a smoky finish that beautifully enhance the caramel and light roast flavors of our delicious porter.

32nd District: Carpino versus Phelps
The election for the 32nd Assembly District seat pits a perky first-term incumbent who says there is still work to be done against an environmental and consumer advocate who has lobbied in Hartford for years and now wants to work inside the system.
Republican Christie Carpino of Cromwell is seeking a second term as she runs against Democrat Christopher Phelps of Portland, who is attempting to regain what had been, for the 18 years before Carpino won the seat in 2010, a safe Democratic seat.
The district encompasses Cromwell, Portland and a sliver of Middletown.
The two challengers share more than just similar first names: neither was born in Connecticut. But both have chosen to make the state their home and to start families here.
Both also say they believe the key to overcoming the continuing economic malaise in the state is not more or newer taxes even on the state's wealthiest residents but by fashioning a more efficient and effective government.
Carpino, who grew up on Long Island and in New Hampshire, earned a law degree at Northeastern University. She moved to Connecticut in 2000, and to Cromwell in 2003 after she married her husband, Joseph Artoli.
The couple now has two children, a four-year-old daughter and a four-month-old son, in addition to Artoli's teenage son.
She ran and won the 32nd District seat in her first try for elective office.
But, after two years, "There's still more to do. That's why I am asking for opportunity to serve again as the people's representative in Hartford."
Carpino is unsparing in her criticism of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's handling of the state's finances.
"We're still running a deficit," Carpino noted.
"I voted against the governor's (spending) increase because I thought it was reckless," she added. "I was alarmed at the direction the economy was heading."
Now, as the state faces both a $500 million deficit and new uncertainties in the wake of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, the answer is not additional taxes, Carpino said.
"We need to look at being more efficient in government," Caprino said.
Phelps, the man who hopes to wrest the seat from Carpino, is a Colorado native who says he was imbued with a sense of public service as a child.
He moved to Connecticut in 1990, and soon after he arrived here he met the woman who became his wife.
His wife Hilary is director of pre-school programs at Middlesex Community College and an adjunct professor of early childhood education.
The couple has two children, a daughter who is a senior at Portland High School and a son who is a junior at the Greater Hartford Academy of Arts.
Phelps has been a member of the Portland Board of Education for the past nine years, and chairman since 2008.
"I have spent most of my career working as an advocate for consumers, working with non-profit consumer and environmental organizations," Phelps said.
He stepped forward to challenge Carpino because, "I have spent most of my adult life working as an advocate for issues, ideas and values that I believe in."
Like Teddy Roosevelt's "man in the arena," Phelps says he was taught that "If that's what you believe, then you should step forward" and run for public office.
He says state representative is the best position for him to carry forward his commitment to those ideals.
Dogged by a slow recovery and by a continuing deficit, Phelps says the real issue is to "define what the priorities should be" when it comes to looking at the budget.
For him, the issues are twinned: "to help businesses create jobs and to help middle-class people see relief."
"You can't have a knee-jerk reaction, 'tax the wealthy,' or 'slash spending.' It's all about what do you protect. You can't take a hatchet to education or job training. You have to be honest and say, 'Not more taxes.' Our tax system needs to be more fair," Phelps said.
He said he is "proud of the fact" that, working in tandem with Superintendent of Schools Sally E. Doyen in Portland over the past four years, "Our budget has gone up one percent a year."
"And we were able to do that without slashing programs or laying anyone off," Phelps said.

This pretty tote bag was designed by Elisa, an Italian knitter and blogger who saw the Climbing Trellis Lace Pattern here on the Purl Bee. She calls it her "No More Plastic Bag, Thank You!" It is a fast knit that takes only a few hours to complete.
Elisa's Nest Tote can be made from just about any cotton yarn (linen or hemp yarn work nicely, too). The stretchy lace stitch makes this bag practical and quite durable.
We would choose this dainty and durable tote over a plastic bag any day!
- 1 skein or approximately 175-200 yards cotton yarn. We used Rowan 4-ply Cotton in Tutti Frutti
- A pair straight needles a few sizes larger than recommended for your yarn. We used US size 9 needles.
- A set of double pointed needles in the size recommended for your yarn. We used US size 3 needles.
- A crochet hook in the size recommended for your yarn. We used a 3.5mm hook.
- tapestry needle
Elisa's Nest Tote measures about 8 inches wide and 12 inches long when empty. Depending on the size of the yarn you use, the bag may be bigger or smaller. It will stretch when filled.
k2tog decrease; knit two stitches together
psso pass slipped stitch over
ssk decrease; slip, slip, knit
yo increase; yarn over
Check out our Decrease Tutorials for help with the techniques used in this pattern.
You can learn more about I-Cords in our I-Cord Tutorial.
Here's a copy of Elisa's Nest Tote for you to keep. Enjoy!
With larger needles, cast on 41 stitches.
Rows 1 and 3: Purl.
Row 2: K1, *yo, k2tog, repeat from * to end of row.
Row 4: *Ssk, yo, repeat from * to last stitch, k1.
Repeat Rows 1 – 4 until fabric measures approximately 24 inches, or twice desired length of the finished bag.
Bind off loosely.
1. Fold the bag in half, right sides together so that the cast on and bind off edges form the top of the bag. You will join together the parallel long edges of the bag using a crochet hook.
2. Using a 1 yard length of the same yarn that you used to knit the bag, make a slip knot on the hook. Leave a 6 inch tail of yarn.
3. Insert your crochet hook under the loops of the first edge stitch on the front side, at the corner with the top edge of the bag. Then insert the hook through the first edge stitch on the back side.
4. Wrap the yarn around the hook, then draw the hook back through the two edge stitches. You now have two stitches on the hook.
5. Wrap the yarn around the hook and draw it through both stitches on the hook. You have just one stitch on the hook now.
Continue joining the front and back edges of the bag, repeat steps 3 – 5 along the length of the bag. When you reach the bottom of the bag, where the knitted fabric is folded in half, draw the remaining yarn all the way through the final stitch to secure it.
Weave in your ends using a tapestry needle or your crochet hook.
Repeat for the second side of the bag.
This Applied I-Cord makes a nice finished edge for the top of the bag and a strong handle, too! You'll need only two of your double-pointed needles, plus a tapestry needle for joining the circular handle together.
With smaller needles, cast on 6 stitches.
Round 1: K5, sl 1. Beginning at the right front edge of the top of the bag, pick up one stitch and place it on the left needle. Knit it onto the right needle, then pass the slipped stitch over it and off the right needle. You have six stitches on the right needle, and the yarn is coming from the last stitch on the left, closest to the point of the needle.
Round 2 Preparation: Without turning the needle, slide the stitches down the needle to the opposite end and move the needle to your left hand. The yarn is coming from the last stitch on the left, now furthest from the point of the needle.
Round 2: K5, sl 1. Pick up the next edge stitch and place it on the left needle. K1, psso.
Repeat Round 2 until all of the edge stitches along the front of the bag have been incorporated into the I-Cord.
Once you have completed the Applied I-cord Border, continue knitting the I-cord handle until you reach the desired length. Remember that the handle will stretch a lot when the bag is full. For a hand bag, we recommend knitting an 8 inch long I-cord handle; for a shoulder bag, knit until the I-cord is approximately 16 inches long.
Kitchener stitch is a seamless way to join "live" stitches, or stitches that are still on the needle. For this project, one end of the I-cord is live, but the other end is the cast on edge. To set up for Kitchener stitch, pick up six stitches from the cast on edge on one needle. Now you have six stitches on each needle.
1. Break the yarn, leaving a 20 inch length. Thread it onto a tapestry needle.
2. Hold the needles parallel, so that the stitches on the front needle come from the I-cord border, and the stitches on the back needle come from the I-cord handle. The yarn is coming from the first stitch on the back needle.
3. Draw the tapestry needle through the first stitch on the front needle, as if to purl. Leave the stitch on the knitting needle.
4. Draw the tapestry needle through the first stitch on the back needle, as if to knit. Leave the stitch on the knitting needle.
5. Front Needle
a. Draw the tapestry needle through the first stitch on the front needle as if to knit. Slip the stitch off the knitting needle.
b. Draw the tapestry needle through the following stitch on the front needle as if to purl and leave it on the knitting needle.
6. Back Needle
a. Draw the tapestry needle through the first stitch on the back needle as if to purl. Slip the stitch off the knitting needle.
b. Draw the tapestry needle through the following stitch on the back needle as if to knit and leave it on the knitting needle.
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for remaining stitches.
Draw the yarn through the last stitch to secure it, then weave in the tails.
Knit the Applied I-cord Border and I-cord Handle for the back of the bag. Make sure the handles are the same length!
We hope you use your Nest Bag for groceries, books, yarn, and all the bits and pieces that make up your life. Enjoy!
