Unless they take the SNK route where they turn all white characters into Japanese.

I would do an alternate earth story, with different actors, not just USA actors and difference by race, but real difference, like in case of Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards. That means different languages and cultures, with smaller countries/villages being more homogenous like smaller nations in our world, while the 5 large countries and villages being more mixed as it was the case with some larger earth empires (romans, great britain, etc.). That way for example Naruto can be north european type blonde guy (inheriting blonde from his father, but the Uzumaki could be Irish descent because of red hair) while Sasuke/Uchiha being a japanese guy and for example Sakura could be indian (that would also fit the sign on her forehead), Hinata and Hyuuga could be chinese, etc. This would give opportunity to select actors from all around the world, not just from Hollywood.
