I don't think this is a good idea. As the proverb says: too many cooks spoil the broth.
Any attempt at doing this would require lots of editing, to keep up with the quality of the previous chapters, or to prevent plotholes or continuity errors. Also, different authors have different opinions on how the story should progress, both within the chapter (e.g. when following your guideline) and the story as a whole. For example, one author, who writes scene 3, may want to push Naruto and Hinata closer together, trying to finally get them in a romantic relationship *coughmecough*, while another, who writes scene 4, wants them to keep their close friendship how it is for now. This would lead to discrepancies between scenes in how characters interact, which will propably just confuse the reader.
Also, it could screw up any plans the Evil Authorlord has for the story and its progression. And I don't think that is something any of us want, right?
As my final argument against it, look at DCs Countdown to Final Crisis.
PS: What could be done is start a new story, have one author write the first chapter, and then another writes the second, following some set guidelines. Afterwards, the two (and any additional writers) keep circling around writing chapters. I've seen this once with a Digimon fanfic, and that one worked fairly well. But even this shouldn't be done with an already established story like team 8.
