In *Shippū! Konoha Gakuen Den*, Hinata Hyūga inhabits an alternate universe reimagining of *Naruto*, where Konoha High School replaces ninja life. As a student, she becomes entwined in the exploits of transfer student Naruto Uzumaki, who vows to dominate Japan’s Yakuza gangs. Alongside Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka, Hinata narrates the story, offering insights into Naruto’s audacious journey. Retaining her signature shyness, Hinata’s reserved demeanor amplifies around Naruto, though her enduring romantic interest drives key moments. When Naruto triumphs over school fighters like Kiba Inuzuka, Rock Lee, and Neji Hyūga, retaliation ensues: a rival gang kidnaps Hinata, Sakura, and Ino. Naruto’s rescue attempt falters until Sasuke Uchiha and classmates intervene. Post-rescue, Hinata’s timid resolve shines during a date with Naruto, discreetly witnessed by peers—a testament to her quiet admiration and determination to connect with him. Diverging from canon, this universe strips Hinata’s Hyūga lineage, Byakugan, and familial ties, recasting her as a supportive classmate whose kindness and empathy mirror her main-series persona. Clad in a standard school uniform, she navigates the narrative unburdened by clan pressures or combat skills, channeling her agency solely through emotional support. Though the OVA sidesteps long-term character arcs, it spotlights Hinata’s bond with Naruto through playful moments—flustered reactions to his brashness, the clandestinely observed date—and underscores their growing mutual respect. Lingering uncertainties about the school’s future linger, but Hinata’s role remains anchored in steadfast loyalty, framing her as Naruto’s quiet yet unwavering ally.
