Not much would change, really. The fights with Kakashi, Jiraiya etc would go largely the same. The biggest question would simply be if he would be patient enough to have Sasuke awaken the MS, or whether he would simply try to take his base sharingan for himself. He'd still be doomed to die young due to his disease, and he was near death when Sasuke faced him anyway.
