It was not where Naruto came from that mattered but where he decided to go with what he had I mean there must of been at least one evil or disappointing Ashura transmigrant.

No not really because regardless Madara could still have found someone else to be Tobi (a man as resourceful as Madara would never be without a back up) and although would be severe changes to the timeline stuff would still go down and the rules would have stopped jack all... also because plot is more important than sense sometimes. I agree with the points Starscream made. Just because Naruto may have had a fate doesn't mean that Neji had to be a victim to his so-called fate. Also, I don't get the argument that if they hadn't saved Rin, Obito wouldn't have become Tobi. Rin's death is what corrupted him. Regardless of when or how she died Madara would have found him and exploited that. No argument will convince me otherwise.

I like the speculation about the sharingan, and ironically I had a thought about it earlier. Sasuke bragged that Itachi mastered the sharingan at the age of eight. That sounds impressive- until you realize that means that he suffered horrible trauma at the age of eight. Itachi novels were actually really good and the anime adaptation sad to say didn't do it real justice except for a few scenes.
