REFRESHER: the necklace was originally Tsunade's grandfather's (the FIRST hokage), he gave it to her, on her brother's 12th birthday she gave it to him so he could be like their grandfather and become hokage but the next day he died in battle, then she gave it to her boyfriend who wanted to be hokage too but he died in battle too. In each of these instances the necklace was the only thing that was left of each of these men. The fist gave it away and the last two had their lives taken away leaving the necklace as they persued their dreams to become hokage.
With naruto changing the fate of the necklace of death by destroying it (whether intintonal or not) it was a symbol representing how he wont die, he might just be able to achieve the very thing the last two owners of the necklace couldn't as he pushes forward with their aspiration's at heart.
The necklace hold a symbloicness about it.
JUST BECAUSE: now if you want to go any further you could think about how the first hokage was the original holder of the necklace, it makes you think "why did he pass down his naecklace to begin with?" "what else did he pass down besides the necklace?" well he was the founder of the hidden leaf right, then he had that epic fight with madara at the "Final Valley" yet the battle still rages on (he fought there with sasuke *coincidence??? NOT!*). In a way you could think that since the necklace was "passed down" to naruto he also had the aspirations of the first hokage along with his responibilities.
food for thought
