So I've been trying to look up a coherent timeline for Naruto (and create a
perpetual motion machine on breaks) and a couple I have come across place
Shisui's death at two years before Itachi killed off the clan though I was
under the impression that it was a much shorter period.

Is there any official media that clarifies this particular point?

How long after Shisui's death did the Uchiha massacre take place?


Several attempts have been made to create a fully coherent Naruto Timeline. As
discussed by me [How much time has passed between the final fight and Sasuke
Shinden (anime)?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/37849/how-much-
time-has-passed-between-the-final-fight-and-sasuke-shinden-anime/37852#37852);
there is an official timelines of all the visual novels. This can be found on
wikia and 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/)

There have been a number of attempts at a coherent fanon timeline, but I
haven't found anything that is perfectly accurate or universally accepted. For
Example: I used to refer to
[this](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/User:ShounenSuki/Timeline) for all the
events in Naruto world. **Disclaimer: Please give credit to the wikia user
ShounenSuki for compiling this.** However, this has been inactive for a while
and only covers event before the start of the Great Ninja War. It also
mentions almost 2 year gap between Shisui's death and Clan Massacre.

The main reason for this is the _filler_ anime episodes that put Itachi's age
at thirteen. [![enter image description

The Manga puts Itachi's age at 11 when he joined Anbu. 6 months after Itachi
joined Anbu corps he _killed_ Shisui. We also know some time passed after
Shisui's death because of the following events.

  * Sasuke thinking about Itachi's outburst when accused of Shisui's death
  * He also mastered and showcased his Fire Style Jutsu to his father
  * Coup d'etat is a complex process and lot of planning would have gone on this, _from both sides_
  * We also know Itachi found Tobi, tracked him down and trained with him before eliminating his clan.

Thus 12-18 months is a good estimate to consider the amount of time passed
between Shisui's death and Uchiha clan massacre.
