@Needle, it's my understanding the The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi isn't a story written as part of Naruto. Like, it's fiction even inside this world of fiction. So I don't think it really needs to be considered canon or non-canon, because it's just something else. Like, Itachi Shinden uses the characters from Naruto and has a story based on the manga. The TotUGS is just a book.
