[Despite how people might have viewed them, Sakura is and always was Ino's best friend. In public, they might not have always seemed like they got along but to anyone who really knows them, there is no doubt that they love each other a ridiculous amount. It's painful for Ino to see her friend suffering like this, maybe even more so because there is little she can do to help her.
Ino gathers her up and hugs her tightly.]
You're the greatest medical asset this village has but you're only one person. A person. Not some all powerful deity who can control life and death. No one in their right mind would think you're helpless. How many lives did you save during the war? A hell of a lot.
[She rests her chin on top of Sakura's head. Ino hopes that Sakura knows that Ino isn't saying all of this just to cheer her up. Ino is nothing if not honest. ]
All you can do is train harder, learn more, and save more people. And don't worry, if my future husband dies, I'll just get another. They're pretty expendable!
