We already had a timeline in place, albeit partially based on interpretation. The Academy Arc is implied to occur 10 years after the war, if we take Iwabe's statement at face value.

Interestingly, the events of Chapter 700 were stated to occur about 12 years after the war, with the events of Naruto Gaiden (and, by extension, this episode) occurring "several years" after that, which we can basically confirm to be 15 years after the war. True, but it is nice to have exact dates for once.
