How much would the whole series change? Would the village turn into something strict?

No, it would have led to an arc where Naruto eventually TnJ'd Danzou into changing his ways. In other words, Danzou would become important to Naruto's development rather than Sasuke's.

Honestly, this would have been more interesting than having Danzou simply die by Sasuke's hand. Unfortunately, Kishi rushed Danzou's character to a conclusion so that he could hurry to his War Arc.

Danzo would try to make all of the villagers into brainwashed Root members.

I can see that. His Talk no Jutsu would always come through.

Fake utopia with tons of oppressed people.

Must be for the good of the village.

Not sure how he'd be Hokage since the stunt he pulled at the kage summit.

Would it be strict? ABSOLUTELY, too the point of dictatorship even but it would've been more secure then it was with Tsunade or even Minato. Good question though.

4th great ninja war would have been created by him. Sasuke would be dead.
