Yeah, actually, there's a good chance that Sasuke Shinden is happening before Shikamaru Hiden and Konoha Hiden (which is actually the point of NaruHina's wedding), unless the latter two will be shown in the form of the flashbacks.

@Kakashisologod, I don't won't to spoil anything, but if you really want to, I'd say you should read Sasuke Shinden: Book of Sunrise article. Although the anime version already brought up some changes and it will surelly bring more of them in the next episode, the beginning turned out to be pretty similar to the novel events.

Besides, I had some thoughts about Sasuke's design from The Last not being used in this arc. Technically, the events of The Last are set in winter, and unlike his fellow comrades, Sasuke wasn't staying in Konoha most of the time and travelled a lot, thus needing some warm clother like his poncho and forehead sash. Sasuke Shinden seems to take place in spring/summer, and thus Sasuke already has no need of poncho. However, I admit that my arguments have a major flaw in face of the fact that Sasuke weared his poncho attire even during his travels across Kaguya's dimensions, particularly, in the hot desert dimension.
