I dont think im allowed to post but im sure it was in a interview for kishimoto where the timeline was actually shown, meaning otherwise it's canon

EDIT:I take that back it wasnt in a interview but: The Weekly Shōnen Jump sets the following order of events:

11th October, 17 years after Naruto Uzumaki's birth[4] Naruto Chapter #699 Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha end their last fight. The Fourth Shinobi World War ends. Several months later Kakashi Hiden Sasuke leaves Konohagakure.[5] Two years later Shikamaru Hiden The Last: Naruto the Movie Several months later Sakura Hiden Konoha Hiden Several days later Naruto and Hinata Hyūga's wedding. Several months later Gaara turns 20 years old. Gaara Hiden Akatsuki Hiden Over ten years later Naruto Chapter #700

is the official timeline with the novels, as you can see the novels are NOT incoherent with the story
