and yes for everythig else, but what i meant wasnt really the fight of the two MCs but the overall story and its changes,

for example, would sasuke be more shunned by his parents? (assuming not a single soul has a idea of the rinnegan in the entire world), and would his path to revenge even cross orchimarus ways? afterall he doesnt have a sharingan anymore and without proper instructions the rinnegan doesnt seem to be useful either (except for the basic ability of "easy 5 elements mastering") etc etc etc ^_^ The overall story would not match the current Naruto story, like, at all. At least that's what I think. Because as a hybrid offspring of a Senju and an Uchiha, Sasuke would be shunned by both the clans, or at least by the Uchihas if not the Senjus. His parents would probably love him, else why would they hook up in the first place? Unless, of course, it was a one-night-stand sort of thing, or maybe rape. Either way, Sasuke would be much more similar to Naruto. While Sasuke was always popular and considered cool, your version of Sasuke would be an outcast like Naruto.

I also can't see how the Uchiha Massacre could serve any purpose in your hypothetical Narutoverse. The Uchiha Massacre is what drove Sasuke from the beginning of the series to the end. I just don't see an Uchiha Clan Massacre in your Narutoverse having the same effect on Sasuke as the real Narutoverse. The only close analogue would be if Itachi were Sasuke's blood brother, and instead of killing off the Uchiha Clan, he simply murders both his parents. Itachi's "excuse" would be that both his parents dishonoured their respective clans and thus, Itachi "punished" them by murdering them. Only such a scenario would drive the Sasuke in your universe the same way it drove him in the real Narutoverse.

This version of Itachi also would probably be genuinely evil. The Uchiha Clan were putting the whole village into peril, and so Itachi slaughtered them for the greater good. But what excuse would your Itachi have for killing two individuals who happened to break their respective clan's greatest taboo?

Now if you were to get rid of the "Itachi kills his parents and Sasuke goes batshit crazy" storyline, then the only compelling way Naruto and Sasuke could be contrasted is if either Naruto or Sasuke turned rouge because they were outcasts. Gaara was the actual contrast in the manga, but he eventually turned good. In contrast, the story in your scenario could unfold with either Naruto or Sasuke being the final, irredeemable villain.

Naruto could be the villain if he's insanely jealous that a half-breed product of an unforgivable "sin" (inter-clan mating) keeps getting stronger and stronger while overcoming the social barriers that led him to be an outcast. Meanwhile, an Uzumaki/Senju untainted by Uchiha blood like Naruto was still being treated as an outcast. That could feed into Kurama's hatred and ultimately produce Darth Naruto.

Alternatively, the Naruto in your hypothetical would be basically identical to the Naruto we know. Whereas Sasuke is disillusioned by the very concepts of "clans" and "villages"; the very concepts that have turned him into an outcast. So Sasuke leaves the village and the clan to master the Rinnegan, so that he can ultimately destroy all shinobi villages and scatter all the shinobi clans all throughout the world in such a chaotic way that no contemporary clan can group together and maintain their distinct identity. That would be the ultimate fulfillment of Sasuke's ambitions.
