Ino isn't that bad.

[Holy Spirit]

Okay, hear me out;

She clearly went easy on Kakuzu and Hidan, deciding to take a back seat. The author also wanted to give Shikamaru some spotlight so they left Ino out a bit. She could've easily transferred her mind into Kakuzu and trapped Hidan so they could bury him.

Another example is when she fought Sakura. If it wasn't for Naruto and plot armor, she could've had it with ease. Sakura gives up, hell she could've toyed with her and made her do some dumb stuff before making her give up. Sakura isn't immune to Ino's mind transfer and needs outside help as anyone else probably does.

Lastly, Ino can take over the Ten Tails and redirect tailed beast bombs. I don't see anyone else doing that, not even kages. It took the whole army like a LOT of earth walls just to block one when she was having them redirected with ease. Kishimoto just wanted to prove a point with the earth release so let her take a back seat again.

My point is, Ino is easily one of the deadliest characters in the series and often gets put back because she's a girl and to give others the spotlight. Ino > Sakura, Hinata and Tenten and at least most of the guys. She has trouble against Sasuke and Naruto but she puts up a good fight.

Ino is usefull, but only when used in conjunction with Shikamaru, other than that her only real benefit is that she is a sensory/ Healer...

I know this sounds cliche, but Kishi is bad at making usefull female characters...

 

[Holy Spirit]

That adds to her skills. She has healing abilities, sensory abilities making it hard to land a surprise hit on her and her powerful mind techniques.

Man...that avatar sucks....but agree with your thread atleast....

 

[FreakensteinAG]

The idea that she can mind-transfer the juubi does not presuppose superiority over other shinobi; rather, this was the biggest opportunity for Ino to make full use of her ability. Why did the mind-transfer jutsu work? Because the juubi is a large, slow-moving biju. Mind transfer jutsu does not work on a moving target in an oblique direction as her chakra velocity is slow.

 

[Optimistic]

Sorry that avatar was distracting...not a good way either.

Just because you can't accept how good Ino is doesn't mean you need to insult me.

ino isn't bad, but your avatar is

No insults were given. Rather than accept that Ino is good, I accepted that she capitalized on a clever exploit of the juubi, because she had the ability to do so. The same jutsu (her special move) does not work on smaller, faster units in a different direction.

 

[MonCheRena]

The first thing I noticed was your avatar. I'm just like: :xylon: now I'm like: oh my

OT: Ino has proven herself useful indeed.

You don't even have an avatar?

It does. The juubi is fast with it's Tailed Beast Bombs, faster than anyone to even think about putting up a defense. When he used it Naruto and that were all stunned in fear and Ino managed to save them with her precise timing. Her father even admitted she's really fast.

<3

And yes, Ino is incredibly useful. Thank you.

 

[FreakensteinAG]

The juubi is fast with it's Tailed Beast Bombs

That's with shooting tailed beast bombs, not movement in itself, which I have been pointing out the last two posts.

She is fast enough to catch moving targets don't argue with me

doesn't change the fact

 

[Holy Spirit]

Go make an avatar then judge me honey buns.

 

[FemmeFatale]

She is a good team effort, though she is nothing on her own in combat...sadly. Once Kishi stoped developing Sakura, he stopped Ino and their rivalry.

 

[ismael]

Why judge someone because of his AVA.
OT: she is useful but only useful when used with shikamaru and choji. She may miss if the opponent is too fast to be caught by such a technique. Thought I agree with you she is useful.

Ok when I came here the first thing I saw was your avatar and I'm like , but I agree with your thread.

He stopped developing Sakura? He gave her tsunade's techniques( that regeneration thingy, summoning, and super strength. Kishi did not give new techs to the others like kiba with that boring fang over fang.

ino never controlled the juubi and it was obito that she controlled for about a couple of seconds as that was all she could manage
also in the ino verse sakura fight it was explained through kakashi that her will to not lose to ino was a big factor not just naruto calling out to her and dont claim plot armor as you sound like a petty hater i could just as easily say its because of plot that ino caught sakura
i like ino she has some great feats in this war but dont make her out to be something shes not
