@Inferno Vulpix , I don't think mixing Yuno and Ino is a good idea, if we want to make Yuno feel included I would say it's simpler to just arrange a spar with Team Gai. Ino and Hazou aren't really friends while Lee, Tenten and even Neji have a much better attitude towards him and we can talk with them about Leaf/Mist differences too.
I don't really have a problem with meeting Ino but I doubt that Hazou needs to help her destress, she has a clan, probably a few non-clan friends and the Nara/Akamichi. But mixing Yuno and Ino without Akane sounds like a bad idea to me.
I mean, you might be right. After typing this...
Maybe Yuno (someone from a highly isolationist, highly formal village where the average ninja's career isn't measured in the single digits) thinks that the brief, too-the-point courtships/marriages are irrational and maybe even a little foolish? It'd be likely that she thinks of such unions as "mere whirlwind romances that aren't likely to endure the entropic sands of time. I mean, they don't even know the given name of their partner's great-great grandmother! How can you expect the ancestors to give their blessing if you can't even honor them properly?!"
...I've come to the realization that Ino flourishes in Leaf's culture while Yuno is disoriented and drowning. We might end up needing to tap into the Out to navigate the social minefield --which would nullify the "relaxation" part of the lunch/tea/coffee meetup. We could bring Akane to help smooth things over --especially since she's friends with both Ino and Yuno.
But that might cause some weird friction between Hazou, Akane, and Ino, since I don't think that we've really clarified Hazou's intentions toward Ino. And Yuno, being the traditionalist that she is, might take offense to that. Especially since she's still seriously hurting after Noburi declared his intentions in apparent bad faith, then left her high and dry. Yuno might misdirect some anger Hazou's way if she thinks that he's doing something similar to Ino.
