Love it. Obito as FV really is one of the biggest cut-for-time narrative improvements you can make. Our takes are pretty similar, though I do think you need to resolve Naruto and Sasuke's rivalry. Whether it be by fists or by a point being proved- it has to be left somewhere and maturely resolved.Its difficult to pinpoint it down to five changes, I don't know how much I can do with each change anyway...say though, if I could change the last fifty chapters I would cut Madara and Kaguya entirely and just make Obito the final threat. Redeem him from the whole Rin bull with something worthy of a final villain. Like, have him kill some people, have him be a real threat and actually succeed in casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Naruto though manages to escape because of the Bijuu chakra inside of him after meeting Hagoromo and drags Sasuke with him. The final battle would be them, maybe some more people too, versus Obito, who ultimately is proven wrong and has some sort of epiphany before he dies. Sasuke doesn't return to the village and we don't get a fight....yet, leave it for another time, like a separate movie or a different continuation from Boruto.
Well, if I had to find a solution to their rivalry, I'd have the fight happen, but rather than it being the final fight of the manga, I'd have it happen off screen during the time skip to Boruto and have people constantly, constantly reference it. Kind of like how Madara versus Hashirama was, for a while there, this epic unseen clash hyped up to no end. And eventually I'd go back and show it. It'd probably keep people a lot more interested in the sequel if there was the possibility of seeing Naruto and Sasuke duke it out there, even if its a bit cheap to do so.Love it.

Absolutely love this idea, and it'd drive the NB type of fan c r a z y.Well, if I had to find a solution to their rivalry, I'd have the fight happen, but rather than it being the final fight of the manga, I'd have it happen off screen during the time skip to Boruto and have people constantly, constantly reference it.

I mean, these both seem hugely unsatisfying and kinda defeat the purpose of the show? Still curious though. Would make a great 'what if' chapter.you only needed one:
Have Sasuke become Hokage and Naruto become evil as a result due to his dream being stolen (or have him praise Sasuke instead whichever works)
or
Have Sasuke kill Naruto during VOTE 2 and the rest of the series continuing with that tragedy. There's so much you can do with that
