Selling Cans from Naruto to Beyond

Facing the chilling, murderous voice, Kakashi and the others finally accepted the reality.

Zabuza, after using that gear…

At least outwardly, had become a woman.

And…

Kakashi's gaze couldn't help but drift to the deep cleavage.

That figure, that slim waist, those legs…

No matter how you looked, a stunning beauty.

"I get it!"

Naruto's sudden shout drew all eyes to him.

Arms crossed confidently, he declared:

"You're trying to seduce us, right? No use! I'm the master of that trick, and one solid punch will break your transformation!"

"…Idiot," Sasuke muttered, rubbing his forehead, exasperated.

He thought Naruto had seen something clever.

This was clearly no Transformation Jutsu!

As for seduction… that wouldn't work. Did he think so little of ninja?

Naruto, missing Sasuke's comment, grew bolder under the stares, pointing at Zabuza and shouting:

"And your seduction is too low-tier! Total fail! Let me show you a real Sexy Jutsu!"

His hands flashed through seals.

Poof!

Naruto transformed into a misty, alluring, clothesless blonde twin-tailed loli.

"…"

The scene fell eerily silent.

Then, spurt—!

A long stream of blood shot from Kakashi's nose. Even Sasuke turned away, face flushed.

Sakura and Rin stared, stunned.

They'd never seen this technique.

But Zabuza and Haku showed no reaction.

Well, not none.

Zabuza's chest heaved, flames flaring around her, clearly enraged.

"You're insulting me, brat!?"

Her voice dripped with icy killing intent.

An insult, absolutely.

Seduction?

What a joke—she was Zabuza, Demon of the Mist!

Daring to call her subpar?

Comparing her to this crude transformation—what was that if not an insult!?

"Ignorant!" Haku stepped forward, equally furious. "A can treasure isn't comparable to your pathetic Transformation Jutsu! Lord Zabuza is a true ninja, sacrificing everything for his dream. I won't let you tarnish his resolve!"

As he spoke, a whirlwind erupted around him, now laced with countless tiny ice shards, like a blizzard, radiating chilling dread.

In his heightened battle fervor…

He'd fused his gear skill with his Bloodline Limit!

His icy storm complemented the blazing flames around Zabuza.

"As expected, it's that right-hand bracelet," Kakashi said, finally stopping his nosebleed, eyeing Zabuza with awe. "Your trump card? I bet you've truly become a woman—that's the bracelet's cost. The effect is fire control?"

He glanced at Shen Mo above with reverence.

No matter how many times he saw it…

Cans always produced unimaginable things.

"Huh?" Naruto, still in his Sexy Jutsu form, blinked, confused. "Really turned into a woman?"

"You idiot! Change back!" Sasuke smacked Naruto hard. "Think! If it wasn't a cost, there'd be no need for this!"

Though he found it unbelievable too…

With cans, common sense didn't apply.

"…" Naruto finally got it, mouth agape.

Looking at Zabuza, imagining himself fully becoming a woman…

Sisters with Sakura?

He shivered.

That shiver caught Zabuza's eye.

Nameless fury surged within her.

"Feel my wrath, you damn brat!"

Gripping her Teigu, she stomped hard.

Boom—!

The ground cracked, and she shot forward like a cannon, wreathed in roaring flames, charging Naruto.

"That speed!?" Kakashi gasped. "It's boosted again! Sasuke, Naruto, be careful!"

As he spoke, he raised his dragon arm, spewing dense, lava-like flames straight at Zabuza.

But this time…

Zabuza's flames formed a massive fire dragon, meeting Kakashi's head-on.

The two searing flames collided, a moment of silence, then—

Boom—!

A deafening blast, like thousands of explosive tags detonating, erupted at the arena's center.

Hundreds of degrees of heat expanded in waves. Everyone—Kakashi, Zabuza, and the others—was slammed by the shockwave, flung into the air, and crashed hard onto the ground.

This scene…

Far surpassed a typical jōnin duel.

But there was no time to catch a breath.

A raging wind, laced with ice shards, carved a path. Zabuza, bearing burn marks, charged again, her flame-wreathed scissors swinging, face unbandaged.

Her revealed face bore a ferocious expression.

Killing intent, rage, frustration…

Zabuza's heart now craved only battle.

In an instant, Kakashi, swallowing more Mana Boost Pills, barely spotted Zabuza as she reached Naruto.

Die!

The massive scissors, wielded by her slender wrist, carried overwhelming dominance.

They swung down.

Aiming to cleave Naruto in two.

Naruto seemed frozen by the searing, murderous intent, unable to react.

Or rather, too slow to react.

Among all members here, Naruto's strength was the weakest. Just two hundred Level 1 cans and a Power Pill barely qualified him to fight. As the battle escalated with trump cards, his power couldn't keep up.

Death!

Fear of death shone in Naruto's eyes.

Clang—!

A sharp metal clash rang out.

Sasuke lunged from the side, pouring all his strength into his broken sword, trying to block Zabuza's lethal strike.

But…

The immense force and scorching flames engulfed Sasuke in an instant.

"Aaagh!" His scream echoed as his clothes and skin burned visibly, his body hurled back.
