Ino Yamanaka features in the OVA "Naruto, the Genie, and the Three Wishes, Believe It!" as a Konohagakure genin drawn into the conflict surrounding a magical bottle containing a wish-granting genie. Naruto Uzumaki's discovery of the bottle and use of two wishes sparks a dispute among the genin over control of the final wish. Ino actively participates in the struggle to seize the bottle. During the chase, she makes an attempt to catch it, declaring her intent to break the bottle and halt the fighting among her peers. Before she can act on this plan, Shikamaru Nara's Shadow Imitation Technique immobilizes her. Her role is confined to this specific wish-related incident within the OVA, without significant character development, exploration of background, abilities, or relationships beyond this event, and the narrative concludes without further focus on her individual story.
