There could be a powerful mentor figure that Naruto met during his time away. This person might have taught him the secrets to his newfound strength.

There could be air - based ninja clans with their own unique abilities. For instance, a clan that can manipulate air pressure to create powerful blasts or shields. These new characters would bring fresh fighting styles to the Naruto world.
