(Ryoto's pov)
I had trouble fighting against Utsu alone, and now I need to fight him and Yami at the same time.
Yami was barraging me with her hair transformed into blades, and Utsu was still using Senbonzakura Kageyoshi to cover all my escapes.
Thankfully I had an ace up my sleeves, and as I was about to be sliced and bonked, I used switcheroo to switch places with Utsu shocking both of them.
Yami managed to stop her mention and not harm Utsu in any way, but I used this chance to fire off another Getsuga Tenshou.
Ryoto: "Getsuga Tenshou!"
I swung at them, sending a blue wave of energy. It was obviously weaker than when Zangetsu was sending them at me, but it was enough for the purpose I needed it for. After all, I don't want to kill them. At most, I want to leave them unconscious.
Utsu blocked my attack once again and, at the same time, used the small bats to send Yami flying over Getsuga so she could attack me from above.
Yami spun in the air, and using this momentum, she attempted to do an axe kick while transforming her leg into the tip of a morning star.
Not needing to hide this power anymore, I switched places with Yami this time, but Utsu was ready for this and sent a big number of bats at me, so I switched places with him.
My head started hurting a little. I used switcheroo just three times, and I already have a slight headache.
I'm not that surprised that I'm not used to the newest power in my arsenal. Still, I think it's because I transported something human-sized, and from the testing I did, the bigger the object or, in this case, a person, the bigger the strain on my brain, and it doesn't help that I'm still using prediction calculation which requires a lot of my brain power.
I can't predict what Utsu will do, but Yami is a fair game.
It looks like I'll need to restrain myself from using switcheroo. I cause it in dire situations two, maybe three times. Four if I really push myself.
I didn't have time to think as Yami launched another attack. I don't know why but she transformed her hair into bats this time.
I released bloodlust at her together with Haoshoku Haki to shock her and use the small opening she gave me to shoot a web at her and gain some distance between us, but she sliced through it with ease.
I was, however, ready for that and secretly was moving water towards her. Thankfully I remember the biggest weakness of Yami.
Slimy things and I could create a water tentacle and could even lower the temperature of the water for extra effect.
As soon as Yami destroyed the web, she jolted, feeling a slimy feeling wrapping around her leg and going up.
She gave me a deadly gaze.
Yami: "Ryoto Yuuki, I knew that you were ecchi, but you outdid yourself."
She said with a slight blush on her face.
Ryoto: "Thank you. I'm trying my best."
I showed her a smile.
I let my guard down and felt a hand on my shoulder.
Utsu: "No horny!!!"
He swung a bat at me with incredible speed. I needed to choose between witching places with him and blocking it with my arm covered in Haki because o held the sword in my other hand, and I wouldn't have enough time to stop it with my sword.
I decided to use switcheroo. I didn't want to risk unnecessary injury. And while I was at it, I used Utsu's back to lunch myself away from him. To do even more damage, I repelled myself with flames coming from my feet.
But because I needed to dodge, I couldn't keep holding Yami, and she was pissed at me for doing ecchi as I may or may not go too deep into a role of a tentacle.
But never mind that.
Behind me was a river. I raised my arms, and the water followed suit, creating a big wave. As it was coming closer, I disappeared in the wave, but the water was coming closer to Yami and Utsu.

Utsu created a single bat out of small ones and took a big breath.
Utsu: "No horny breathing: Second bonk!"
Utsu cut the wave in half so no water would be able to reach them, but I redirected the water back at them. The water was coming from all directions at the same time.
Utsu didn't panic.
Utsu: "Bonkai, Tensa Zangetsu!"
He then slashed at hypersonic speed in all directions at once. He scattered all the water coming at them.
Utsu: "As expected of my master. You forced me to use Tensa Zangetsu. I didn't want to use it out of respect for you, but I didn't have a choice. But I don't want to defeat you that way."
He released his bonkai and returned to the previous once, and once again, small bats were flying around, ready to bonk anyone nearby.
Well, that's lucky. He won't be even faster, but he still has an enormous arsenal of attacks.
For the ten minutes, I danced around their attack, trying my best to counterattack as well, but we were at an impasse for now. I was dodging all of their attacks, but they also could defend themselves from mine.
Zangetsu: "Ryoto, let me handle this. I can't watch you anymore. You are like a big boss that doesn't know how to chain combos."
'What do you mean by letting you handle this?'
Zangetsu: "Nothing much. I'll just take control of your body. You'll be completely conscious and can watch everything I do from the insides of your inner world on TV."
'...I have a TV there?'
Zangetsu: "Yeah, it can get boring sometimes..."
OK, I'll ignore it, for now, and think about his offer and better ask some questions.
'Would the hollow mask start forming on my face?'
Zangetsu: "It shouldn't."
To be honest, I could learn a lot by watching him fight but would it be wise?
I looked at Utsu and Yami. Both with the bats.
'Knock yourself out, Zangetsu. Just don't leave any big wounds on them. Utsu should be fine as he is practically immortal, but I don't want to give Yami any scars or big wounds.'
Zangetsu: "I'll try."
I could hear the anticipation in his voice.
As my consciousness went into my inner world, Zangetsu got control of my body, and not only Utsu but also Yami instantly noticed the change in me.
Zangetsu showed a big smile.
Zangetsu: "Yo! Round three?"
