After going back, it looks like this takes place between the events that take place in episode 220. Somewhere during the village downtime in that episode (most likely after the Karin interrogation because it would have to be before he gets summoned to the toads), then word comes out about the Hole to Tsunade, she sends them on this mission, then they return and are still rebuilding the village. Naruto goes to the ramen shop and gets summoned. 221 is where Kabuto has fully developed his powers and he meets Tobi and Tsunade woke up in 219.
Ut oh, they've created a monster. The worst possible reciever for the power made its nest right inside the thing. It was awesome seeing Sage Naruto owning the Kyuubi clone, only to tell it that his true power wasn't from his techniques, but his will and heart. That's been the whole theme of Naruto right there from the very beginning.
