1. Get rid of Sakura, OR the shitty version that Kishi ended up making.

2. Less melodrama and flashbacks in the manga. NO fillers in the anime.

3. Change the motivations of many of the villains in the series. It was really amazing when the manga showed how much trauma and loneliness Gaara had gone through, and how that ended up producing a psychopathic killer. Such a nuanced look at a villain was really refreshing, as opposed to the traditional Good vs Evil narrative of most heroic tales. But it ended up getting stale after Kishi used the same trick on Sasori, Nagato, Obito, Kabuto, etc.

4. Make Neji and the Hyuuga Great Again.

5. Change Tobi into Izuna or some other contemporary Uchiha of Madara instead of Obito aka Discount Darth Vader. Make clan politics, personal ambition, betrayal and the quest for power as Tobi's main motivations.

6. Get rid of Kaguya, and perhaps the whole transmigrant thing. The original premise of the manga was supposed to be a relatively untalented dumbass surpassing the usual geniuses with sheer guts and superhuman effort. Naruto being a transmigrant of Ashura negates that premise in some ways.

7. Get rid of DMS Kakashi. Instead, do full justice to the awesomeness of the character by giving him proper power development. In fact, I'd make Kakashi's story a parallel to that of Naruto. While Naruto is a dumbass who overcomes his lack of natural talent through superhuman effort and determination, Kakashi is a natural genius who uses his natural talents to overcome his crippling lack of stamina. By the end of the series, he'd sort of eventually end up becoming the second Tobirama in his quest to overcome his lack of stamina. And oh yes, I'd give him a much wider jutsu variety so that fans wouldnt't have to roll their eyes when they hear the phrase "Copy Ninja Kakashi: The Shinobi Who Copied a Thousand Jutsus".

8. Much, much more character development for the Konoha 11.
