It's hard to follow this, but I think you'resaying that you added a line to rc.local that says /usr/local/bin/ntp-restart Just say: /usr/local/bin/ntp-restart & which will cause the command to background itself. Boot will proceed and the content of the script will execute the sleep while the rest of the boot continues. After the sleep ends, the rest of the script will proceed.
