The only quibble I have with your assessment of technology levels is that we see a relatively modern crane and bulldozer at the Wave bridge construction site - though I'm not so sure on the 'dozer - which seems unlikely for a finaancially-depressed region only ten years after the introduction of the idea of machines. I'm sure some no-prize can be thgouht up, or the anachronisms simply removed. I'd remembered previous discussions of Narutoverse seal-tech, though, it's just that nothing much has come up to show it off. As for being "next door" to TGNH... I was thinking that the main direct relation was that some of the 'points' saved by 'only' getting Neshan were used to make a few lesser changes here, of the sort that don't need dropping an outsider in to affect - a local Neshan's existence is what determines they can be used that way, and the most visible effect is the change of Mist couriers in favor of Rikou's mom that I mentioned in the opening sequence - there's surely others, of course, possibly including the nature or even presence of the recently-detailed senshi DC cameo cast, but they are for the most part minor.
On Naruto: So I'm guessing he lived with his auntie as an infant, only being remanded to the rather haphazard (in his case only, and without Anko's knowledge since I doubt she'd stand for shit like that demon-boy or not) care of Child Services after her death? If the Academy lasts four years (what I'd been figuring, splitting the difference between the two and six years I've seen as the usual range in other fanfic) that would have him entering a little over three years later to be two years early, whether because he wanted to get away from the day care and that was as soon as he could manage it, or because they wanted him to be someone else's problem for a while.

ETA: While we're talking about compatability and backstory - I named that peninsula of the Fire Country that extends off the southeast corner of the map - though I can't rmemeber what it was ATM, one of the words I listed meaning (pine) torch/flambeax/torchlight - and it's the destination in TXY 2, where Jiraya is this time of year due to a 'spring break in miami' sort of popularity with the upper middle class and noble youth of Fire and its allies. It's also home to a Gatou-backed criminal organisation called Two Gees, which supplies various recreational substances frowned on in Fire, and provides various methods of seperating young fools and their ryou in time-honored methods such as gaming halls and geisha parlours. They also supress violent crime in the area because it's bad for business, and usually avoid openly hiring missing-nin becasue doing so attracts too much attention. This latter principle will be neccesarily compromised in TXY2, and aside from being a place to try looking for Jiraya if someone wants him it's not likely to even rate a mention in TGNH, but in the interests of keeping things on the same page, here it is.That which does not kill us... has made its last mistake.
