Honestly, my greatest wish would be the un-nerfing of many characters; several characters were nerfed in the name of pumping up Naruto and Sasuke. They got power-up after power-up after power-up, and other characters are either stagnant or downgraded altogether.

An example: Gaara. This kid was a juggernaut in the early part of the series, a nigh-unbeatable force. However, after the time skip he has power removed -- removed! -- from him and he continues on that way. It was a good story move, yes, but I'd have enjoyed seeing him grow. Perhaps after his reunion with Gaara (and the One-Tails being astounded that Gaara would fight to save him from Madara), once all was said and done the One-Tails was resealed into Gaara and we see him learn to use that power proficiently, like Naruto in his Kyuubi Mode. Or perhaps have Gaara study a more desert-friendly form of Sage Mode, a technique that (requiring him to stand still to knead senjutsu) seems custom made and perfect for the character. All of this would have been so awesome, but instead Gaara remains the same throughout.

Another example: How epic would it have been to have Sixth Hokage, Kakashi of the Rinnegan?? We had the opportunity: Obito had the Rinnegan and Madara wanted it, and Kakashi had just lost his Sharingan. Implant the Rinnegan and keep it there! That would have been an incredible power-up and would have made his tenure as the Hokage much cooler. Already many view him as the weakest Hokage, seeing as he has less power than the war. Why downgrade, Kishimoto?? I'd have loved to have seen Kakashi of the Rinnegan.
