UGh. . .Damn this seems like it has a good chance of being true :/. While I do like the idea of Orochimaru turning over a new leaf. . . I'd also just like him to be one of those characters that can't be redeemed and stay evil throughout the manga. . Oh well. . .
You got me. I really liked Oro the Snakey Bastard, but I guess you're right

Some assume that Orochimaru is merely playing along with Sasuke and the Hokages, that he's hatching something devious behind their backs, I think this is false, Orochimaru is genuinely a good person now.
Take a look at this:

When Sasuke was expressing his decision, Orochimaru turned to Sasuke and looked like this:

See that face? that is the face of sadness/melancholy, he is seeing Sasuke's redemption, something that he longed for this whole time.
Even Sasuke knows that Orochimaru did not truly attack Konoha out of pure malice/evil:

You might think that Orochimaru's only intention was to take over Sasuke's body because of this panel:

But that was before Sasuke gave his reason why he wanted to meet the Hokages:

After Sasuke said his intention, this was what Orochimaru was truly thinking:

Which proves that his answer to Hiruzen's inquiry was truthful:

In fact, before Orochimaru attacked the Leaf, this panel was shown:

He is nostalgic of his birthplace, even Kabuto noticed Oro's hesitancy in attacking the Leaf:

In fact, Orochimaru shed a tear when he confronted Hiruzen:

That is why character-wise and plot-wise, there is no reason for Orochimaru to become a villain once again, he was never truly evil to begin with, he is genuinely sincere in his resolve to see Sasuke's new path in life.
nice work sir derps alot but i dont believe orochimaru was every purely evil, he wanted shit done his own way, it involved being a baddy killing inocents but never was he a destroy entire world kind of pure retarded evil person
