Stupid canon question time!

[winged-marks.livejournal.com]

Okay, this might just be my brain failing, but I can't for the life of me remember the actual canon facts we have concerning Ino being(?) a medic-nin. I also can't access my manga at the moment to fact-check myself atm, so here I am! So, oh great gurus, what are the facts from the canon on Ino and the healzors?

She healed Naruto after the fight with Hidan. I can't remember the chapter, though.

She tried to heal Asuma too, after he fought with Hidan. As for the chapters, I think this ought to be somewhere between 320-330, not very sure.

342 for healing Naruto.

Hi, Kai-chan ^^

Oh yes, I did think it was something like that—because after that it becomes "The Tales of Sasuke". >.>;

Hi to you too, Magi-chan. *hug* I just came back from a trip. So tiiiired.

The fight with Hidan and Asuma is in the 320-330 area. I just checked 325 and the fight was already started.

or i thought that was it...*goes back and re reads to figure it out*

[blacknoise.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure she only did that in the anime.

[illeatchu.livejournal.com]

I think it was in one of the filler episodes that Ino asked Sakura to train her to be a medic-nin. But I don't remember any such incident in the manga. Ino is shown trying to heal Asuma and Naruto in the manga but I guess it is not mentioned when exactly she starts her training.

[winged-marks.livejournal.com]

Yay, so my brain-loss isn't as bad as I thought! :)

[askerian]

Yeah, in the manga there was no Ino asking Sakura to train her to be a medic-nin, that's anime filler only, but I suspect Kishimoto liked the idea (or he couldn't be bothered to make up a shiny new mind-possession jutsu to give Ino for her post-timeskip upgrade) so he just went on to assume it happened.

[winged-marks.livejournal.com]

Ah, ok. (I should've assumed the "fail" aspect to her using medical ninjutsu when I turned my back. ^^;;; ) Thanks!

[winged-marks.livejournal.com]

Ooooo, thanks! I was so confused by the Ino Is A Medic-Nin floating around fandom that I was sure I blanked on something major. ^^;;;
