While the whole
destiny thing appeals to me, I don't want Naruto to become a Minato clone. He got the rasengan from the fourth (even though Jiraiya tought him the thing.) and he got the sage mode. He needs to become his own powerful ninja using
his own jutsu that
he created. It wouldn't be interesting to see him become Minato. I have been thinking, however, about the gift that Itachi Uchiha gave him. I'm guessing that it is just resistence to genjutsu but who knows? Maybe we will see that when he fights Sasuke.
also, the sage mode was the fourth's too, even if kishi never really writes that. Based on Minato's style, with his clothing (same as sage naruto), his summoning of toads, and his jutsus we can guess he used sage mode too. Jaraiya without a doubt taught him.

As great as the Rasengan is Kishi needs to make better use of Naruto's abilities, All he's given him is basic Taijutsu, Shadown Clones, Henge, and Rasengans versions one to five, He also has Sage Mode but he uses them mainly to makes his already learnt move stronger. I bet he'll learn the Thunder God Technique which he will have to customise probably using Shadow clones because the Kyuubi doesn't allow him to use the original technique, same way he can't do a regular bushin, or Rasengan one hand or even go into Sage mode, (Big difference between Sasuke and Naruto, Sasuke wants to learn a move and he'll have learnt it, Naruto can't learnt it because Kyuubi messes things up so has to do things differently)
and if naruto fully learned the thunder god techinique with his shadow clones he'd be unstoppable. Think about it, he'd instantly be able to defeat an entire army of people. and if he perfected it to a point where can just like send his chakra through the ground into a large area of space (kyuubi chakra) he could just teleport to anywhere his chakra reached, which could be a huge area!
