[In some ways, Ino thinks the hardest job of all is to be a medic. She remembers very vividly how she couldn't heal Asuma-sensei, how days, months, years later she wondered if there was something-- anything-- she could have done differently. She had only tasted a fraction of what Sakura goes through every day. Being a medic is what made Tsunade such a good leader and a tough Hokage. It made you have to re-evaluate everything about the shinobi life. Heal or hurt?
There are times when tough love is necessary. When Shikamaru slacks off, when Chouji eats Ino's portion at lunch, when Kiba is too loud, or when Hinata needs a push in the right direction to do something, Ino is there to dole out the tough love.
Now, Ino thinks, is not the time for her to be a hard ass. This isn't a fight over the most popular boy in class or who has bigger boobs. She puts her arms around Sakura, leaving enough room so that Sakura can wiggle away if she wants. For a few seconds, she is silent so as to let Sakura talk.]
