Ok, found some translation of the novel and the part with Hinata there is like this:

Shikamaru was among the enemy ninjas. If something happened, he would probably not escape damage. He kept an eye on the man he selected, and with both hands, made seals.

—Shadow imitation jutsu!

He extended the shadow that was illuminated by the soft moonlight towards his opponent.

“…..Yes!”

The man stopped in his tracks. Shikamaru moved his leg slightly to the left and the man performed the same motion.

“Hinata!”

“Got it!”

Using her byakugan, she looked for the man’s pressure points. Aiming at one of them, she used her Gentle Fist technique. She gently extended her index fingers. There was no way her aim would miss with this technique. She recalled the movements of Neji, who had been called the genius of the Hyuga Clan.

“Hya!” Hinata struck his body with the secret technique over and over. The force of the technique caused the strength to escape the man’s body. Shikamaru released his shadow imitation jutsu, and the man slumped to the ground.

“Did we do it!?” Hinata watched as one of Naruto’s shadow clones caught the falling man in his arms.

“Because I hit his chakra points he shouldn’t be able to move for a day,” Hinata said as he went limp in Naruto’s arms.

Using this method, it was possible to stop their movement safely. However, it required high concentration, and would be a large burden on Hinata.

“Are you okay, Hinata?” Naruto worried about her.

“I’m okay. We’ll fight together,” She replied, and Naruto nodded.

“Well, should we do it in one go then?” With that, Shikamaru’s shadow stretched to manipulate all of the enemy ninjas at once. Doing it over was simple work and, thanks to that, everyone now lay quietly on top of the soil. Even though they were able to think of a solution, their expressions were grim.

@Ravenlot 27 True. Either flashback will come or SP decided to mess with novels timeline without reason.
