So... variations on Naruto's Shadow Clone jutsu have been done to death. But I don't think I've ever seen this one before:
Naruto (somehow) comes up with a variation on Orochimaru's reanimation jutsu -- except that it only works on spirits willing to come back across temporarily, and instead of using their original corpses, Naruto generates a clone and "downloads" them into it. Probably needs some kind of personal artifact or strong personal connection to keep it from being too easy.
Of course, the re-animated soul only gets the chakra reserves and durability that Naruto can put into a clone, but they retain all their memories and skills. Which could be a heck of a training advantage. Not to mention, well...
Asuma and Kurenai could see each other again, and Asuma could meet his son, even if briefly.
Minato and Kushina are going to end up being regular visitors -- Naruto starts regretting having his parents back once Kushina starts meddling in his love life.
Naruto ends up becoming Speaker For The Dead -- once you start to think about it, it's amazing how many blood feuds in the series could be defused if someone could just call up the right ghost to explain what really happened.
Tsunade could actually say goodbye to Dan and Nawicki. Hinata and Hanabi could see their mother. Ditto Gaara and his sibs. And Neji could get some straightening out from his dad.
How much saner might Sasori be if he could actually talk to his parents? Or if Obito could talk to Rin? Or if Kakashi could talk to Obito and Rin? Yahiko could beat some sense into Nagato? And Sasuke... oy.
Of course, if there's any memory bleedover, things get dicey. And then, if Naruto clones up someone really skilled who figures out how to tap into Kyuubi's chakra, and/or make the clone permanent.... oh, boy.
