Uchiha Sasuke does not grow up bitter and brittle. He dreams of surpassing his brother, not killing him.

Haruno Sakura does not sideline herself and rebuilds her self-esteem under the tutelage of a different sensei, one who refuses to sideline her or leave her issues alone. She is later apprenticed to Nohara Rin.

Konoha's jinchuuriki does not die on her son's birthday. The Fourth Hokage reigns for decades.
