This movie is being released in 2014, which is two years after Road to Ninja was released (2012). We don't know when the movie is set in relation to the manga. All we really have to go on is Naruto's height, and he's nearly as tall as Kakashi now, which would presumably indicate he's at or near adulthood. (18+)

According to the official taglines used in many of the advertisements, the movie "advances beyond the original manga story."
