This could possibly be the plan.

With what kishimoto is foreshadowing with the last chapter, it seems as if naruto will become the new sage. We all have read the thirties and more hints to this too. So i randomly got the idea that, i dont think the alliance can beat the huubi. Sand if yu think about it, neither did the sage of six paths. Now we all know some really good sealers are available. And Hashi is great with the tailed beasts. Im sure he'd seal it in himself but he's an edo so he can't. Obito also wants to seal the juubi into homself as reminded in the latest chapter. What if the way that the alliance defeats the juubu is by sealing it into Naruto? It would make perfect sense, especially with all of this Naruto being the new sage.
Thanks for reading.

This↑↑↑ makes perfect sense

Not an original theory, but it's possible.

Where else have you seen it? And i also believe it is VERY likely it'll happen.

 

[Avonomemi]

There is a chance...

Like you said, we have many hints that point that naruto might be rikudou. He is the main character and at this time, the story is focusing on rikudou, so i think naruto will really be the second SO6P. It's very likely to be so. I don't think kishimoto is concentrating everything on rikudou and his sons for nothing. So...
