I Choose In The One Piece Class, Do I Have A Choice?

As soon as those words left Finn's mouth, a profound silence descended on the crowd.

The people of Konoha Village froze, eyes wide as they turned to look at Shimura Danzō, his right eye and arm completely wrapped in bandages, tightly covering the contents beneath.

For years, everyone had believed the bandages were due to injuries Danzō had sustained. No one had ever thought to question it—until now.

But now, with Finn's accusation hanging in the air, doubts began to creep into their minds.

Why the bandages? If it were simply an injury, why not let it heal over the years? If it were to hide an ugly wound, why not just use clothing or sleeves? Why the need for such tight, conspicuous bandaging?

The more they thought about it, the more they realized something was off.

After all, it was no secret that Danzō was the mastermind behind the surprise attack on the Uchiha clan, and if anyone knew of the Uchiha's dangerous power, it was him. Was it possible Finn's claim was true?

"Shimura Danzō, is this true?" Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, asked, his voice laced with suspicion as he stared at Danzō.

"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!" Danzō roared, fury flashing in his eyes as he turned to face the people of Konoha Village. "I have spent years in the shadows, protecting this village, yet now, because of a few words from an outsider, you doubt me? How dare you!"

"That's right! How could you doubt Lord Danzo?" Yamanaka Fū, one of Danzō's loyal followers, immediately backed him up.

He was well aware of the truth and was quick to defend Danzō, seeking to quell any suspicion.

"You ungrateful fools!" Aburame added, his voice dripping with disdain, further fanning the flames of support for Danzō.

The words from his allies worked, and some of the villagers, who didn't know the full story, looked down in shame, ashamed to have doubted someone who had worked so hard for the village.

But then, a loud and crisp applause rang out.

Everyone turned to see Finn standing there, clapping slowly, his eyes narrowed in amusement.

"Well, well, Shimura Danzō, you really are something else!" Finn's voice was dripping with mockery. "You want to prove your innocence? It's simple! Just take off that bandage on your right eye and show everyone. If it's not a Sharingan, I'll personally return all the funds to Konoha."

Danzō's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't expected Finn to push him so boldly, leaving no room for escape.

"Shimura Danzō, just prove it to everyone," Mitokado Homura said, speaking up in support. He trusted Danzō and wanted him to reassert his credibility in front of everyone.

"Yes, Senior Danzō, as long as you prove yourself, all the funds will be returned to Konoha," Kakashi added, speaking up in a measured tone.

The crowd murmured in agreement, looking to Danzō for an answer. All he needed to do was remove the bandage and prove he was innocent. If he did, not only would he silence Finn's accusations, but he would also restore his reputation.

Danzō's face twisted with frustration. He could not afford to reveal his secret, but the pressure was mounting.

"This is madness!" Danzō barked. "My face, my honor—this isn't just about me! This is about the entire village's reputation! You think I will simply expose my personal wounds to satisfy this child's accusations?"

His voice rose in anger, trying to deflect attention. "What if he starts saying we need to open the grave of the First Hokage? Will we dig it up just to prove him wrong?"

His words rang out, striking a chord with some of the crowd, who now shifted their support to Danzō.

"Yes, we can't just listen to anyone!"

"Konoha isn't a place where we allow these sorts of lies!"

"I stand with Lord Danzō!"

However, the heads of the major clans exchanged wary glances. They knew Danzō better than most, and they saw through his tactic of deflection.

Hyuga Hiashi stepped forward, his voice calm but resolute. "Shimura Danzō, we just want you to prove it. Show us all and put our minds at ease. It's not just about you—it's about the Sharingan, and that's something everyone here is concerned about."

"Yes, it's better to prove it once and for all."

"If it's just an eye, show us the arms, too."

Danzō's fury boiled over. "Enough! I won't reveal anything today! This is a matter of honor, of my pride as a man of Konoha!"

Just as he was about to storm off, Finn's figure flickered and appeared in front of Danzō in an instant.

"Rats! How dare you!" Danzō's two special guards, Yamanaka Fū and Aburame, lunged at Finn, but their attacks were met with swift retribution.

Boom! Boom!

The crowd barely saw what happened, only hearing the impact of the blows as both guards were sent flying. Yamanaka Fū crashed to the ground, blood spilling from his mouth as he lost consciousness.

Danzō's eyes widened with horror. "Damn it, I didn't have time to unseal it!"

His Sharingan was still sealed, and he had planned to use the time during their trip to the back mountain to unseal it. But Finn had forced his hand, attacking before Danzō had a chance to act.

With a swift motion, Finn reached for the bandages on Danzō's face.

"You want to unseal it, right? Well, let me help you with that!" Finn's lips curled into a sneer as he yanked at the bandages with force.

Tear!

The bandages came loose, and as Danzō spun around from the force, his right eye was finally revealed to the crowd.

In that eye, the unmistakable, clear and distinct pattern of the Sharingan gleamed ominously.
