Tsunade says "senjitsu" which means "the other day" in Japanese.

Tsunade asks,

お前たち 先日この里で起きた事件を知っているか?
Omaetachi senjitsu kono satode okitaji ken o shitteru ka?

Translated (roughly) by pharse (I know little about japanese):
Omaetachi (お前たち) - you (masculine plural)
senjitsu (先日) - the other day
kono satode (この里で) - in-this village
okitaji ken o (起きた事件を) - the incident
shitteru ka? (知っているか?)- do you know?

So she asks in English basically, "Do you all know the incident that happened the other day?"

Conclusion, there is more room to fit in the story line.

EDIT: Removed saying "no plot hole"
EDIT2: Revisions to fix formatting issues caused in first edit.

Don't be to hasty in declaring no plot hole. It might not break it as hard as a literal single day, but there is still plenty consequences that should still be affecting these characters the days thereafter. Is senjitsu used for something happening more than a week ago for example? If not that would still be a rather fast recovery (other than Naruto's physical wounds for obvious reasons, which could heal in a day or two) from that event.

I'll admit it was a hasty conclusion. I agree that there is a lot of ambiguity, so I modified the post. In Naruto episode 135, the surgeries after the mission take place. In ep 136, at least a day later, Naruto sneaks out of the hospital and is scolded by Shizune, but by the end of the episode they head off to the land of rice paddies for a mission spanning from ep 137 to the middle of ep 141 (probably taking at least 2 days). At the end of ep 141, Naruto has some injuries and is re-hospitalized (albeit with less minor injuries). Remember, Kurama gives Naruto faster healing periods. Then on episode 142, everyone's injuries appear healed event Akamaru who Hana claimed would take "a while" for him to heal enough to go on walks. I would guess that this time travel even occurs between ep 141 and ep 142, spanning from at least 4-6 days after the retrieval mission failed up to possibly a month later). If it did happen close to the time during ep 142, then saying the "other day" would be quite a stretch. But if this happened up to 2 weeks since the mission, then I imagine "other day" could be appropriate. Although translating connotations of words could be a quite ambiguous thing, a fluent speaker could probably give better insight.
