They might get to chapter 699 in the anime this year, but they'll probably adapt all of the Hiden novels, and maybe even rehash The Last, before they get to 700 / Gaiden / Boruto.

That'll give the Boruto manga enough time to get a sizeable lead before the adaptation starts burning through canon. I suspect the Hiden novels are eventually going to be their own Anime series I feel like the only reason why they are animating the Itachi hiden is to test the waters and see if people would enjoy it or not. As for the whole Boruto thing I doubt it's going to take that long but I think the boruto Anime is going to be doing things differently. I think Naruto shippuden well end with a rehash of The last Naruto the movie and I think the Boruto Anime well start at chapter 700 from their they well also do Gaiden then rehash the Boruto Movie then they well start Animating the Boruto Manga. So in other words the way the Boruto Manga and the way the Boruto Anime well start well be completely different. If they do that they probably won't start animating the Boruto manga until late next year. Basically what I am saying is chapter 700,Gaiden, and the Boruto movie well all be included in the Boruto Anime.
