The difference between Naruto and Naruto Gaiden from what Ishibumi is doing is DxD's stories are branching out while Naruto's happen on a straight line.

The main story isn't affected but there are other background stories that happen as well. They don't necessarily affect the main Volumes but rather supplement it, further building the world.
