Question: why ino is better than sakura?
Answer: Ino is a better friend than Sakura, that much is true. Ino cares a lot about Sakura and taught Sakura her own self worth. Sakura only cares about Sasuke and Naruto-- she thinks of them two a whole lot more than Ino. ... But in shippuden I'd have to say sakura, she's going to be awesome!
