1) I'd keep the main characters grounded. The world is about a ninja world, make it about ninjas. Not gods.

2) Flesh out the main and supporting characters. Teams Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, and Guy should each be around each other fairly often enough that each character gets a focus.

3) Minimize the overall importance of the Uchiha clan in relation to every other clan. In the beginning of Naruto, the Uchiha was (while nearly extinct) wasn't much of a standout from the other ninja clans in Konoha. Then bam, every major enemy was an Uchiha or related to them.

4) While I do want the series to be more grounded, I would like to see a continued emphasis on the tailed beasts, including the Ten-Tails. If say, the 9 tailed beasts were problems until they were sealed into children but if things go sideways, Ten-Tails is reformed and world dies.

5) Keep Akatsuki as an actual threat, not pawns for an Uchiha Lotus Eater plan. The Akatsuki were all fairly unique and if used correctly could have been interesting villains. Then they just because Uchiha pawns.
