Selling Cans from Naruto to Beyond

From Shen Mo's overhead view, Kakashi's arm seemed to transform into a fire-breathing dragon.

It unleashed a massive wave of orange-red flames.

"No good!"

Zabuza felt the scorching heat, his eyes wide with shock.

How to dodge!?

Hiding behind the All-Cutting Teigu was useless! No time for ninjutsu!

"Lord Zabuza!"

Haku rushed forward, summoning a barrage of ice shards. But even these only held off the terrifying flames for a moment.

Fortunately…

Haku pulled Zabuza aside just before the flames consumed them.

Only minor burns remained.

Half the battlefield had become a horrifying sea of fire under Kakashi's dragon-arm flames, the rolling heat waves signaling no human could survive it.

Gulp.

Sasuke swallowed hard, staring at Kakashi's arm.

The activation was terrifying, but the power…

Worthy of a can treasure!

Damn it! Why couldn't he pull something that strong?

Kakashi, after unleashing the attack, wasn't faring well.

"Huff, huff."

He panted heavily.

Why did even this weapon drain chakra!?

Kakashi felt saddled with two chakra hogs: his unclosable Sharingan and now his right arm. Powerful, but too much chakra drain could leave him powerless.

Swallowing several Mana Boost Pills, he recovered slightly.

Feeling his right arm…

It moved freely, could extend, thicken, harden, and spew fire.

Judging by that power…

With enough chakra, Kakashi felt he could threaten a Tailed Beast!

If he had enough chakra.

"Zabuza," Kakashi raised his dragon arm, aiming at him. "If you've got no more trump cards and won't abandon the mission, I see your end—death!"

"Big talk!"

Zabuza, supported by Haku, stood, ripping off his mouth bandages, revealing sharp teeth, and panting heavily.

He eyed Kakashi's dragon arm with deep wariness.

No seals, yet it unleashed flames rivaling an S-rank jutsu, with unknown other effects.

Was this Kakashi's new can gear?

Damn, why was his luck so good!?

Zabuza's eyes burned with envy for Kakashi's gacha fortune.

"Lord Zabuza!" Haku whispered urgently. "There's no choice—we must use it. With that, you won't fear these flames."

"…"

Zabuza's lips twitched.

He knew what Haku meant.

It greatly boosted physical stats and granted fire manipulation—immensely powerful. Zabuza knew his luck in pulling such a treasure matched Kakashi's.

But the problem…

The cost. Using it now…

"Lord Zabuza!" Haku's voice grew anxious. "Ninja are those who, for their goal, abandon heart and life. You taught me that. What's a cost like this? Don't you have a dream you'd stake everything on?"

Her raised voice reached Kakashi's team.

"As expected…" Kakashi muttered. "They've got a trump card too, one with a cost. What kind of power?"

"Naruto, stay back, don't get close," Sasuke said, instantly alert.

Trump cards were the crux of can-opener battles.

No one knew what the other might pull.

Naruto clenched his fists but obediently retreated to Kakashi and Sasuke.

Damn it!

He'd bought too few cans. This fight wasn't what he'd imagined! Even his critical hits couldn't match their strength.

"Damn it!"

Zabuza roared, teeth grinding, clearly torn.

Even self-harm like Kakashi's?

No!

Even greater physical costs wouldn't make him hesitate.

But using that? He could already imagine—unless he killed everyone here, his title would shift from "Demon of the Mist" to something bizarre.

Like "Pervert Ninja"…

Thinking of the otherworldly spectators above, Zabuza felt like losing it.

"Lord Zabuza!" Haku's tone sharpened again.

"I know! I know!" Zabuza snapped, glaring at Kakashi's team, teeth clenching. "You forced me, Kakashi! Don't regret this!"

"…"

Kakashi stayed silent, but his vigilance peaked.

Sasuke and Naruto felt crushing pressure.

What cost…

Could make even a ruthless man like Zabuza hesitate?

"Huff—"

Zabuza exhaled, done talking. Chanting his dream in his mind, his gaze hardened.

Then—

He activated the Kämpfer Bracelet!

Blue light surged from the bracelet, enveloping him. Kakashi's eyes widened.

So that's it.

That mismatched bracelet.

His body visibly changed—not just one part, but entirely!

Trouble.

Under the trio's wary gazes…

The blue glow around Zabuza faded.

Before them stood a stunning figure in provocative clothing, with a curvaceous build and wheat-colored skin.

This was…

"—!?"

Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, Dazuna…

Everyone's eyes bulged, faces frozen.

Zabuza… turned into a beauty?

What's going on? An illusion?

"Heh, hehehe."

Zabuza sneered, raising a slender hand, clenching it.

Boom—!

Massive flames spiraled up from her feet, radiating fierce, searing aura.

The Kämpfer Bracelet was an amplification item.

With Zabuza's original strength, the boosted result far surpassed the Kämpfer world's protagonist.

"Not bad. This power's not bad," she said, neck twisting slightly with discomfort, her clear voice carrying. "You pushed me this far… ready to die?"
