Ooh, ooh, indeed. *eyeroll* Maybe it's "Ooh, ooh, we get to kill that backstabbing little bucket of self-involved neuroses, I can hardly speak for joy"? Or am I just wishing for too much, here?
Honestly, given Ino's singular gift for holding a grudge, I'd think she'd be the most bloody-mindedly eager of any of them to go after his guts. He sold every one of them out, and Ino is not the forgiving flower of mercy that Sakura, uh...sometimes can be...y'know, when she's not smashing you flat for crossing her... Okay, fine, only if you're Sasuke. >.>
Basically, it comes down to: I don't buy that Sasuke is SO SPESHUL that not one but two beautiful, capable, smart kunoichi are willing to whitewash all his many ills. I just don't. Dragging your girls out of character with the magnetic force of a Stu, for extra drama, is not good writing, Kishimoto. Srsly.
(Bless Chouji's heart for unabashedly comforting her even in her OOC fit of grief for that scummer, though. Chouji, you can be in the Deserves A Better Canon Club with Lee and Sakura and Jiraiya and Tsunade, okay? ♥)
