Both of us... we weren't ever great shinobi. We tried... oftentimes it wasn't good enough. So I pushed you, you pushed me back. We weren't competing just for ourselves. We competed for each other.

Here, I'm the gutsy one. All talk, but no show, mostly. I can't think like Shikamaru, and I'm not strong like Chouji. I'm just... Ino.

And look at you, Sakura. You got to be with the amazing Sasuke. I'm so jealous, you know? But... that probably hits your self-esteem really hard. Even Naruto's getting better.

We... we're just extra, sometimes. So we'll get better. Together. Okay?
