When Should I Watch “The Last: Naruto the Movie” and “Boruto: Naruto the Movie”?

On the other hand, Boruto: Naruto the Movie takes place after Naruto manga’s chapter 700, and Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring. Naruto Gaiden is a mini-manga series. It takes place between chapter 700 and Boruto’s movie. You may skip this mini-series, but you might miss how Sarada Uchiha accepted her family.
