<p>I know that the Naruto movies are outside the timeline in the sense that they don't affect whatever happens after them. However, they must fall somewhere in the Naruto timeline — based on who are in the movies and how the characters look like, etc. For example, if Sasuke isn't in the movie, it should take place after he left. For each of the movies, approximately what timeframe (between episodes/arcs) are they set?</p>

<p>The movies:</p>

<ul>
<li>Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow</li>
<li>Legend of the Stone of Gelel</li>
<li>Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom</li>
<li>Naruto Shippuden the Movie</li>
<li>Bonds</li>
<li>The Will of Fire</li>
<li>The Lost Tower</li>
<li>Blood Prison</li>
<li>Road to Ninja</li>
<li>The Last - Naruto the Movie</li>
<li>Boruto: Naruto The Movie</li>
</ul>

After that The Last: Naruto the Movie came out, but we know it takes place two years after the war (they say that in the movie). Than Boruto: Naruto the Movie which is somewhere after Naruto turns into the Hokage and Boruto is taking the chunin exams.

[**Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_the_Movie:_Ninja_Clash_in_the_Land_of_Snow)

> between episodes 101-106

Sakura's hair is short in the movie. She cut it during the chunin exams.

The limited opportunity team 7 has to go on a mission together between the chunin exams and Sasuke's defection would be between episodes 101-106

[**Legend of the Stone of Gelel**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_the_Movie_2:_Legend_of_the_Stone_of_Gelel)

> The movie takes place after episode 160

[**Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_the_Movie_3:_Guardians_of_the_Crescent_Moon_Kingdom)

> The movie takes place after episode 196, during the anime's post-Sasuke era

[**Naruto Shippuden the Movie**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto:_Shipp%C5%ABden_the_Movie)

> After Shippuden episode 53, when Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Yamato returned to the village.

[**Inheritors of the Will of Fire**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Shipp%C5%ABden_the_Movie:_The_Will_of_Fire)

> After Shippuden episode 89, due to the large influence of the Hidan and Kakuzu Arc.

[**Bonds**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Shipp%C5%ABden_the_Movie:_Bonds)

> After Shippuden episode 111, since Orochimaru was sick, which happened around when Sasuke was about to kill Orochimaru.

[**The Lost Tower**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Shipp%C5%ABden_the_Movie:_The_Lost_Tower)

> After episode 152-154, after Jiraiya's death and before Pain attacked the village.

[**Blood Prison**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_5:_Blood_Prison)

No accurate timing, due to plot inconsistencies:

> Naruto knew Sage Mode and remembered when he met his father, despite the fact that the invasion of Pain had not occurred. A, the Fourth Raikage, still had his left hand, despite having lost it during the Five Kage Summit. Naruto knew Killer B, but Naruto did not meet him until their training at the Island Turtle.
