Well, we have seven different settings (bolded are the main ones): So it should be like Snapper2 said. Or we'd have to add five more options.
 * 1) Pre-Story (partly Kakashi Gaiden)
 * 2) Story (Part I)
 * 3) Timeskip
 * 4) Story (Part II, Shippuden)
 * 5) Timeskip (Blank Period)
 * 6) Tenth Movie (Two years after Story (Part II))
 * 7) Future

Also, isn't the tenth movie technically just another event that happens in the blank period-timeskip?
