While fighting you have an item palette allocated to the directional buttons that you can kit out with the things you need or want during a fight, such as a quick guard breaking attack, temporary status ailment or a potion of some sort. The reason being that items play a role in combat. Money made and items purchased will be available wherever you are and whichever Ninja you embody.
