I dunno if Recca's actually supposed to have "read-the-manga" knowledge, or if the Naruto universe is supposed to be entirely alien to him. That is, the manga and anime didn't exist where he's from. Didn't get a clear sense of that from Aleh's stuff. Perhaps he could clarify that?
Canonically, Lurker is correct - Naruto asked what the word Chakra meant when confronted with it. Why he'd be so ignorant, well, that's another question.
Further, not only are there walking demon tupperware folks older than Naruto, it's also hinted in the manga that the big ol' raccoon has had at least one host prior to Gaara. I take it to mean that the Sand has sealed and re-sealed the damn thing a few times. Possibly to ensure freshness.
EDIT: I should probably give an actual opinion, having finished reading the fic. I found it pretty entertaining, on balance. Recca spends a ridiculous amount of time talking. There's massive verbal exposition there. Possibly too much. He's saying a lot. Granted, the whole exposition thing fits what a teacher is presumably meant to do, so...
Nonetheless, all the speeches still bother me a little...but the subject matter and opinions expressed are pretty interesting. It's a weird take on things. That works.
I'm not particularly fond of massive crossover crack elements - I'm looking at the Slayers, Sailor Moon and Dirty Pair references in particular... but eh, it's in-genre. After all, Aleh did say this was a crackfic, albeit stealth.
