Well, it's my own opinion, but I could be wrong. It doesn't seem that anime versions of the novels will completely follow the novels' timeline. For example, the events of Shikamaru and Konoha Hiden novels take place before Sasuke Shinden (according to the timeline), but in the anime, it's Sasuke Shinden which is shown as first, unless the next novels will be animated as flashbacks.
