In fact, normally if he wanted to bring Mu Yue to the battlefield, he would have to inform Danzo Shimura first, because Mu Yue was a member of Danzo Shimura.

The last time Mu Yue went to help Orochimaru was also the result of Danzo Shimura's efforts.

So why did Orochimaru go past Shimura Danzo to find Muzuki directly?

Orochimaru's main purpose is to test Mu Yue's thoughts. If Mu Yue agrees directly, it means that Mu Yue is willing to break away from Shimura Danzo and stand on his side. On the contrary, Mu Yue still maintains his fundamental position.

Orochimaru doesn't want Danzo Shimura to have too much power.

It's not that Orochimaru started to manipulate Hokage's heart before he became Hokage, but if Danzo Shimura has too much power, their cooperative relationship will be unbalanced, which will be detrimental to Orochimaru.

In order to investigate whether the attitude shown by Mu Yue was Mu Yue's own attitude or the result of Shimura Danzo's influence, Orochimaru asked Shimura Danzo some things about Mu Yue in a sideways manner.

Orochimaru was very cautious and asked about irrelevant things, and the reason was very legitimate. He was curious about Mu Yue, a talented ninja who was very talkative.

But Orochimaru still underestimated Shimura Danzo's caution.

Danzo Shimura immediately felt that something was wrong with Orochimaru, and immediately sent people to investigate Orochimaru's whereabouts, and found that Orochimaru had actively contacted Muyue many times without his knowledge.

"You Orochimaru, you actually want to take away my most perfect work." Danzo Shimura was a little angry.

In order for Orochimaru to become Hokage, he worked hard and fought with Sarutobi Hiruzen several times before sending Mu Yue to the battlefield to support Orochimaru.

In the end, Orochimaru wanted to poach his people even before he became Hokage.

If he hadn't been deeply bound to Orochimaru and both parties knew each other's dirty deeds, Danzo Shimura would have really wanted to scold Orochimaru as the root leader.

But Danzo Shimura couldn't, because Orochimaru was nominally the root ninja and his subordinate, but the two were actually equal and collaborators.

"Ha, Mu Yue is loyal to me, it's all in vain." Danzo Shimura sneered in his heart, this is something that even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't do, and he didn't think Orochimaru could do it.

Of course, having confidence is all that matters. Danzo Shimura still investigated Mu Yue thoroughly. He always preferred to believe what he had and not what he didn't.

When Danzo Shimura found out that Mu Yue never took the initiative to seek out Orochimaru, he felt at ease and felt that Mu Yue was still the subordinate who was extremely loyal to him.
