But Ino is a part of Team 7 and doesn't get much focus as Sakura does due to her being a "main" character. I can go look through my old issues of SJ but Kishi said he create Sakura and Lee to represent human weakness or something. Sakura was made weak on purpose even though she could of become a unique female shinobi(can't spell the correct term right now) but no point in stressing that out.
