"From 1935-1936, plans were considered to convert the class into a dedicated anti-aircraft / anti-submarine platforms, using eight 127 mm guns in dual turrets, eight 25-mm guns, and four depth charge launchers with 36 depth charges. The redesign would also have involved combining the smokestacks into a single stack. Funding was approved for fiscal 1937, but the plan was cancelled due to an overload in the capacity of Japanese shipyards. The plan was floated again in 1938-1939 using eight 76.3 mm guns, but eventually abandoned in favor of the Akizuki-class destroyers." -Stille, Imperial Japanese Navy Light Cruisers 1941-45, pp. 12-15. -

If the devs use those "plans" to make a Kai Ni for them, we probably will have a Tenryuu-class similar to Isuzu... With capability to perform AACI and OASW, with maybe an special equipment similar to the Agano-class' 8cm High-angle Gun
