"More special than you" has been a running joke in anime fandom now as a result of Uchiha Sasuke. It's the epitome of whiny me-monster.
What made me lol so hard was the fact that I have come across the running joke LONG before I actually started reading Naruto. LONG before. Which just added this whole special level of... sweet jesus Sasuke, listen to yourself.
I thought it was lessened somewhat with Hinata, but at least with Hinata we saw her give Naruto medicine in the chuunin exams so you could believe she had an interest. But Ino? I read that and I was like "fuck that, what a cop out". Obviously the mangaka can't think of anything women are good for except healing.
Yes. See, Hinata makes sense, but Ino? As I was saying to someone else, her talents are MADE for espinage. She couldn't be MORE the perfect spy if she had 'sydney bristow' tattoed on her ass. And he thinks she should be a healer? *incredulous*
I like to think Rin died during the Nine Tails nightmare, but I don't think that's actually been revealed that I know of.
That seems to be the consensus. I wonder if that was something the mangaka said in an interview or something.
Isn't it the other way around? At least in the "modern" timeline. Sasuke and Kakashi both started out with two, but by the time Team 7 is formed Kakashi has three. Itachi has the stage past three.
Okay, is that how it works? So having the three isn't the thing you need to kill your best friend for, but just a normal progression?
