I've recently binge watched all of the original _Naruto_ series and have
started on _Naruto Shippuden_ (around episode 20 as of now). Recently, I heard
that the movie _The Last: Naruto the Movie_ came out. From what I have heard,
the movie has spoilers about the end of the manga (like chapter 700), but I'm
currently not reading the manga (though I plan on starting).

If I were to watch the movie, when does the movie take place within _Naruto
Shippuden_ , if at all? I saw somewhere saying that it took place at around
episode 399-400, but I also heard that a series following Shippuden is coming,
so I don't know if I should watch Shippuden, _then_ the upcoming series, and
**then** the movie.

question
naruto
When does The Last: Naruto the Movie take place within Naruto Shippuden anime series and Naruto manga?


The Last: Naruto the Movie takes place two years after the events of the
Fourth Shinobi World War, ie two years after Chapter 699. The last chapter of
the manga, Chapter 700, shows events taking place over 10 years after the
Fourth Shinobi World War. So the timeline of **The Last** falls in between
chapters 699 and 700. Chronologically, the movie takes place after the
Shippuden series.

As for your original question, the current episodes of Naruto:Shippuden series
are fillers. So they are not based on the manga and is made specially for the
anime. But removing the filler arc, it is currently at Chapter 662 of Birth of
the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki arc.
