There are a couple of Naruto ideas that have been floating in my head for a while that I wanted to put down here.
First off, one thing that always bugged me was that Sarutobi just left Naruto to languish unwatched for the most part until Jiraiya of all shinobi taught him how to access the Kyuubi's powers. WTF? How could the lecher take the chance to help him with his tenant even if it was just to get chakra to summon. My first idea is that Sarutobi covers his bases early on by arranging an early tutor for Naruto so he could harness his control over the fox. The best choice? Well, if you want to go crossover, I'd say either Iori Yagami, or Vice and Mature of the Orochi clan. Yagami makes slightly more sense in that he's a boderline good guy for a muderous anti-hero. He could also be introduced through Genma, whose last name is, after all, Shiranui. Maybe Mai-chan could persuade the insane Orochi Warrior to help Naruto use the tainted nine-tails chakra the way he uses the tainted eight headed Orochi flames. Hell you could even claim the Orochi is really the hachibi if you wanted to. I'll admit, this has more with me wanting to see Naruto use the Maiden Masher on Sasuke-teme than anything else, but it still has potential, I think.
The second idea was inspiried by Naruto-kun's outfit. Does anyone else think it resembles Muten Roshi's student gi's from Drgon Ball and DBZ? So here's the idea from that, maybe he wears then from a family tradition. Like say, he's a descendant of Krillin and Juuachi-gou, perhaps? Not a recent one, or one where and DBZ character was still alive, but a blood relation none the less. Now, picture if he was giver his family tai-jutsu scrolls as a kid...in the art of Kamesennen. Picture Naruto pulling off things most nins never could, without using the kyuubi for power. Just an odd thought that popped into my head. Well, that and the sight of Naruto cutting off Orochimaru's tongue with Krillin's Destructo Disk when he and the ero-sennen for find Tsunade.
