Ino shouldn't even be considered Sakura's rival anymore.

[Amaterasuice]

I mean seriously? People are putting Sakura in the range of "Jonin level', "elite/high jonin level", and even "Low-kage level". With the seal obviously. Though I would place her at high jonin level with the seal and just jonin level in base.

Where is Ino? High chunin level or special jonin level? It's obvious Ino is in a tier behind Sakura. Btw Ino is my favorite female character in this manga, so I'm not hating.

But obviously if she was going to be Sakura's rival, Kishi screwed it up. Ino is now just a powerful support Ninja. Is there anyway she can POSSIBLY catch up to Sakura? Or at least be on the same tier?

Maybe if she had Dan's spirit technique as well, or something. But otherwise I don't see anything that puts her close. It's actually kind of annoying me.

Here is some examples of characters who've stayed close in power:
Jiraiya and Orochimaru
Kakashi and Gai
Neji and Lee
Temari and Shikamaru
Madara and Hashirama

Though certain characters may have always been stronger or there was a clear winner, they've at least been comparable.

Now the two who haven't are:
Ino and Sakura (Sakura destroys with or without base)

Ugh, just a thought. Yes I'm angry but not really about this.

This isn't a who is more useful thread, they're both pretty useful. This is a "how close in power thread".

ino is like the only person she can beat....but if ino does that mind transfer s*** then its over

 

[Cosman]

inb4 haters. But who really considers Ino her rival?

 

[Bijuu Bomber]

Ino shouldn't be Sakura's rival..she's beyond her.

Who's being useful in this war right now? Ino.

Who isn't doing her job right now? Sakura.

Who is getting more screentime? Ino.

Who is not and is a main character? Sakura.

Sakura is healing. That is her job.

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

Remind me again. Who did Hashirama use in a chapter not too long ago because of her usefulness? Not Sackura. Instead, Sackura was off charging her chakra for when she will use it off-screen.

No she's not. She's sitting there in the back with Sai talking.

 

[Corgi]

Her rival is Sai, dumby.

Sakura's got a freaking 600 ft slug to either shoot acid on Ino, or use a little slug to break Sakura out of it. Ino needs a summon.

I mean seriously. I don't even like Sakura but it's not even close.

Yes, Ino is doing her job. But Sakura is stronger. I never said more useful.

ino is a support type, sakura is an attack and support type. they were both tsunade's apprentice's and she learned tsunades jutsu. sakura >>>>>> ino. lol @ sakura >>>>>>> someone

It's still pretty sad.

 

[Vandenreich]

I hate threads about Sakura they always turn into Sakura bash fests.

And I don't even like like Sakura.
