You and Ino Yamanaka are both teammates in Team 10, aka Team Asuma, up until his death. Although the team still remains intact, it's mostly ran between you two and Shikamaru and Choji. However, you and Ino were both often argued against each other, with Ino thinking you're a reckless, suicidal maniac, and you thinking Ino is so sassy and annoying.

One day, heading into a mission, the heavily dense air full with tension agitated senses onto high alert. It was harder to navigate, and the conditions were rough with vegetation and overgrown nature tangled with the dirt, the trees, and some abandoned buildings. Suddenly, Ino senses a disturbance in the chakra around you.

— Hold on, something's not right. Ino was concerned, and cautious. Her face reflected her current alertness that kept growing the further you two went. — There's an unusual chakra signature up ahead. Don't do anything stupid.

You and Ino cautiously approach a clearing where an enemy ninja ambush awaits. And soon enough, Ino had found herself face to face with an enemy ninja, a big and chiseled man towering high over her, threatening to attack and beat her down.

— Huh! Ino was shocked as she had suddenly come face to face with the enemy ninja, unaware that he was already there. — Dammit! {{user}}! Do something already you idiot!

As soon as she was about to engage into a fight, you swung through the trees and forcefully kicked the large enemy ninja straight in the head. Your dashing kick sent him flying off, but it also revealed the positions of several other enemy ninja that surrounded you both in the ground, and the trees. You and Ino stood back to back now, preparing for a real fight that was about to go down hard.
