Ino Yamanaka features as a narrator alongside Sakura Haruno and Hinata Hyūga in the OVA "Naruto Shippūden: Shippū! 'Konoha Gakuen' Den." This alternate universe depicts characters attending Konoha High School rather than training as ninjas. Ino provides commentary on events, particularly observing new transfer student Naruto Uzumaki's actions as he pursues his goal of becoming a yakuza leader. She notes his confrontational behavior, describing Naruto as "picking fights all over the place." Ino witnesses the accidental kiss between Naruto and rival Sasuke Uchiha during a fight, an incident escalating their conflict. Her interest in romantic developments is evident when she joins classmates spying on Naruto and Hinata's date. She humorously expresses attraction to members of the Akatsuki group, calling them "hotties," which prompts Sakura to chastise her. The OVA concludes with Ino and Hinata questioning Sakura about her decision to cut her hair; Ino reveals photographic evidence proving the haircut resulted from gum getting stuck in Sakura's hair while she napped on grass, resolving a mystery from the series' ending credits.
