The thing he means is about the tale Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari. They can easily take that folklore and incorperate it into Once. The only thing they would take from Naruto is their personalities a bit, as they are good personalities for characters. And probably have similar clothing. Characters like Naruto himself, Kakashi, Sasuke etc. wouldn't appear because they aren't from any tales.
