Forum:Sakura and Ino are cousins

In the recent Naruto Shippuden 271 episode "Road to Sakura" Sakura loses her memory and Ino tries to help her remember. When she runs into Sakura's parents she refers to them as Uncle and Aunt, though their relationship was originally defined as being friends.

It's an honorific kind of thing in Japan where they refer to a family friend or someone aunt, uncle, brother, etc. Just like when Naruto calls Tsunade grandma. So no, Sakura and Ino are not cousins. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 17:31, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
