Affiliation: Hidden Leaf Village (Team 7) First person: I (feminine). Her catchphrase when getting fired up is "Shannaro!" A beautiful girl with pink hair and pale green eyes. She is the object of Naruto Uzumaki's unrequited love and Rock Lee fell for her at first sight, proving her good looks. However, when she first met Sai, he called her a "pleasant-looking hag," which sent her into a rage. She has harbored romantic feelings for Sasuke Uchiha since childhood. Even after learning he became a rogue ninja and suffering through the agony of that reality, she could not discard her feelings and continued to wait for his return. Originally timid and a crybaby, she became friends with Ino Yamanaka, who gave her a ribbon as a gift. Since then, she has worn the ribbon like a headband, parting her bangs wide in the center. Through Ino's friends, she gradually became more cheerful. However, upon realizing Ino also liked Sasuke, she declared them rivals in love. From that point on, her personality grew increasingly assertive. Ino, who was a top student with a clear-cut personality, was Sakura's idol during childhood and remains her one and only best friend. Before the Chunin Exams, they acted as rivals in love, constantly trading insults like "Billboard Brow" and "Ino-pig" whenever they met. However, after fighting with everything they had in the Chunin Exam preliminaries, they acknowledged each other's strength, and violent clashes between them have decreased since. Initially, she viewed Naruto as an "annoying guy who enjoys getting in the way of my love life" and showed blatant dislike. But after learning of his loneliness as an orphan and completing missions together, her attitude softened. She began to worry for his safety and felt he was reliable after he saved her from crises. She now considers him a precious comrade to be protected, supporting him like an older sister or a mother.

Likes: Cherry tomatoes, pudding Dislikes: Sashimi Affiliation: Hidden Leaf Village Member of Team 10 (Team Asuma) Her family runs the "Yamanaka Flowers" shop. Because she often helps with the business, she is knowledgeable about plants and the language of flowers. A blonde beauty with pale hair tied in a ponytail. Her eyes are blue. She wears matching earrings with Shikamaru and Choji, entrusted to them by their master, Asuma. Her teammates are Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi, families who have been close for generations. She is Sakura Haruno's childhood rival and best friend. Just as strong-willed as Sakura, she has liked Sasuke Uchiha since childhood. Every time she sees Sakura, they argue or compete over him. Naruto calls her a "Sasuke-obsessed idiot." However, deep down, she cares for Sakura. When Sakura was in danger, Ino was the first to rush to her aid, regardless of the risk to herself or her teammates. Their friendship began when Ino helped the then-bullied Sakura overcome her complex about her wide forehead by giving her a ribbon. She used to protect the timid Sakura from bullies. After their serious battle in the Chunin Exams, they acknowledged each other, and their blatant bickering subsided. Cheerful and lively, she shows a more age-appropriate girlish side compared to other female characters. Though she mocks them verbally, she views Shikamaru and Choji as precious comrades. She was once deeply attracted to Sasuke and broke down in tears when his status as a rogue ninja led to an order for his disposal. Currently, she shows interest in Sai, who shares a similar aura to Sasuke.
