as you said, they all left at 0500, and now it's about 12 hours after that? (it's still daylight, and i doubt that they took a break for the night)
no, i'd say more like 24 hours.......
remember that episode where it was getting dark and shikamaru talked about how his kage mane doesnt work without any light?
now watch the episode where naruto catches up with kimimaro in the field, its daylight again.

therefore, its the next morning after they left
