I agree with the above posts about Orochimaru showing an interest in the son of the hero of the Fourth Great Ninja War and also because he likes knowledge.

I doubt his interest is going to turn into an obsession like with Sasuke, although I'm sure he may be interested in Boruto's dojutsu if he ever saw it in action/heard about it.

The only thing I don't get about Mitsuki gaining independence is that Log put the pics/info of Boruto in the vessel that he took with him which resulted in him finding and befriending Boruto. Makes me think that at the end of the day Orochimaru/Log still somewhat manipulated Mitsuki into the concept/idea of having a 'sun' to begin with rather than him leaving the two of them behind, recollecting what just happened and coming up with his own path.
