Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru are all three characters from the original tale, and Orochimaru's power to bring back dead people and control snakes was already stated in that tale, so I don't see why they would need to bring Naruto, the original tale would be all they need. I mean, would that be problem for anyone if they looked different than in the anime? I agree with this so much, we don't need the Naruto connections. If they want to do The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant, a kitsune (nine tailed fox commonly found in Japanese folklore), etc. that's fine, but adding in Naruto references to that is like saying they are adding goblins on the show, so we need Harry Potter. Besides that fact, is the fact that getting the rights for Naruto would be a headache. I'm all for the show adding more diverse fairy tales (I'm personally rooting for Journey to the West), but it has to be in a way the show can actually do it.
