No, he is not any better person than he ever was, don't be fools. He just said that he had put a self-detonation into Mitsuki lol.

Orochimaru said so himself, he still wants the same thing as ever, to uncover everything there is to know. Not for Mitsuki to uncover all there is to know.

Even the name originally means 'snake vessel' well, snake is obviously Orochimaru himself and vessel is self-explanatory. Most likely he just wants Mitsuki to develop first and once Mitsuki is in his prime or so, Orochimaru will take over the body. Well, we literally seen how he's actually kinder than what he shows after the war, from helping Sasuke and Chino, by acting like he doesn't care about anything, only to be revealed that he was helping Chino's dad to get Chino a better life.

We've also seen him literaly act with Log, so to guide Mitsuki to his 'sun'. And we knew that he was acting for all that time. And presently we know from what he discussed with Log, that he's just planning to make Boruto and Sarada think that he doesn't care about anything, just to see what they will do about it.

And I doubt about the bomb thing, Orochimaru genuinely wants Mitsuki to start his own life. And we know that Mitsuki already did the Sage Mode, in which he didn't explode, nor of any other situation.

Then again, it's not exactly like people actually favor assasions and war heroes that want to destroy the world, and those who want to plac3 the world into an illusion. They are just cool in picture, and in a show like Naruto, (evil) people 'Change'. It's literally part of the show, as how no one believed in the boy with the Nine Tails, but eventually he shows that he's not a monster and stuff like that. It's anime, not everyone judges anime characters the same way they judge real people.
