Yes, it is. Fanfiction often bends the rules of the original story. Writers can come up with all kinds of creative explanations to give Naruto the ability to use Susanoo.
Some fanfictions might play with the idea of alternate universes. In an alternate universe, the rules of ninjutsu are different. Naruto could be born with a combination of Uzumaki and Uchiha bloodlines, which would make it possible for him to use Susanoo. Or perhaps he is given this power by a powerful entity in the fanfiction for the purpose of fighting a greater evil that no one else can defeat.
In some fanfictions, Naruto might use Susanoo through some sort of power - sharing or fusion. For example, if there is a plot device that allows him to access the power of the Uchiha, he could potentially use Susanoo. Maybe a powerful enemy forces him to find new ways to power up and he somehow taps into this ability.
Well, imagine the Susanoo as a giant warrior, and with the Rinnegan, Naruto (or whoever has these powers) could enhance it in multiple ways. He could use the Rinnegan's Preta Path to absorb chakra - based attacks while the Susanoo is attacking. The Rinnegan's Deva Path could also be used to repel enemies that get too close to the Susanoo. And the Susanoo's weapons could be imbued with the power of the Rinnegan, like a sword that can cut through any defense.
You should focus on the energy and chakra control needed for creating and maintaining the clones. It's all about balance and not overexerting yourself.
One reason could be to explore a unique power combination. Naruto is known for his own powerful jutsu like the Rasengan, and combining it with the Susanoo, which is a very powerful Uchiha ability, makes for an exciting and fresh concept in the Naruto universe.
The abilities might be different too. Since Naruto has his own set of skills like the Rasengan and Sage Mode, his Susanoo could incorporate those elements. For example, his Susanoo's hands could form giant Rasengan - like attacks, or it could have the ability to enter Sage Mode, which would be a huge departure from the regular Uchiha Susanoo's abilities.
Well, in fanfic, Naruto often uses shadow clones for sparring. He creates a bunch of clones and they all engage in combat with each other. This helps him improve his combat skills, reaction time, and also his ability to analyze different fighting styles. Since the clones have the same knowledge as him, they can push him to his limits and he can learn from their mistakes during the battles.
Well, in Naruto fanfiction, using shadow clones in orange animals might involve channeling chakra and imagining the desired effect. It could be a creative twist specific to the fanfic's world-building.
