Between the end of the Naruto and Sasuke fight (ep 479) and the beginning of
Sasuke Shinden (ep 484), you can see that most of the characters have not only
received a new set of clothes and hairstyle but have also aged quite a bit.

So how much time has passed?

How much time has passed between the final fight and Sasuke Shinden (anime)?


From last battle, I think their ages were 17 years old. Probably Sasuke
Shinden only takes 2 - 3 years after last battle, because when we saw the
Naruto Movie Last, their face were look almost same with Sasuke Shinden, The
Last Movie maybe occurred after Sasuke Shinden.

Found this image on Light Novels page of Naruto Wikia. [Light Novels -
Naruto](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Light_Novels?file=Novels_timeline.png)
The page also lists the the timeline of the novels, but for some reason it
doesn't list Sasuke Shinden. But there seems to be an official timeline,
probably from Jump/Databook (Citation Needed)

I don't read Japanese, so maybe someone could corroborate, but looking at the
covers, Sasuke Shinden seems to be in the same period as that of Gaara Hiden.
Following this Sasuke Shinden take place somewhere between 2-10 years after
Naruto and Sasuke fought in the Valley of the end

Edit: Correction. It seems the event take place just before Chapter 700 of the
Manga, but after Naruto becomes Hokage so closer to 10 years rather than 3
that I assumed. However this is _true only for the Light Novel and not the
Anime_. Found the translated timeline on Reddit: [A guide to the Naruto Light
Novels, Naruto Gaiden, and The Blank
Period](https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/comments/33zfy3/a_guide_to_the_naruto_light_novels_naruto_gaiden/).
It seems like the most complete timeline of Light Novels I could find.

In the Anime, Naruto is yet to be Hokage and there are several other
discrepancies. No official timeline as of yet, but events seem to be just
AFTER the events of The Last.

Edit: Confirmed for Anime too. The Events of Sasuke Shinden Episode 484-488
take place some time after the events of the movie: The Last.

I've considered your answers, but I couldn't accept them, because they were
either not supported by evidence or a bit vague (2-10 years, or closer to 10
years, is not helpful enough). Sorry for not replying sooner.

However, I did find the answer from anime episode 489. Here's a picture if you
don't feel like watching it:

I know it's from the anime, but according to
[Animefillerlist](http://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/naruto-shippuden), it's
considered canon. So there you go, I answered my own question (very rarely
does it happen!)

My first point, which is the most obvious, is that Naruto is 17 at the end of
the fourth shinobi war. During episode 491 of the anime, while on a mission
Shikamaru says "I'm only 19!" Presuming that Naruto and Shikamaru are the same
age, this would mean Naruto is 19 as well; which would ultimately mean that
between the end of the fourth shinobi war and the beginning of epsiode 484, 2
years has passed.
