Chapter 227 Depths, Mgic and Cannibals
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
The Depths were a nightmare.
Below the stair lay narrow corridors carved from rotted wood. The walls ran slick with moisture and mold. The air thick with something pungent, bitter and coppery. Water dripped somewhere in the dark, the sound bouncing endlessly down the twisting halls. Every few feet the wood creaked or bowed underfoot, its groan swallowed by the roars of hollows and the wet sound of meat being cleaved.
The worst part was that they moved through all of it blind, with nothing but distant torchlight bleeding up.
"Let's sneak around like shinobi," Naruto whispered to his lizard. He casted the Hidden Body spell. The world taking on that familiar muted quality as the invisibility took hold.
The Clone and Oscar landed in a dark hallway. Ahead, an old storage room sat open, spilling out a smell of fermented corpses.
He crept forward.
The room was massive, poorly lit by a single torch that flickered. It spat unsteady light across row after row of barrels stacked across the floor to ceiling. Every barrel had one a hollow and a deep amber, almost brown brine.
Oscar chirped.
"Yeah," the clone said, surveying the rows of barrels with his hands on his hips. "Butchers are also fermenting hollows. Though I'm kind of curious what fermented human meat tastes like."
Oscar glanced at him.
"Don't give me that look. You're not curious?"
Oscar continued giving him that look.
"It's a legitimate question. It's not like I was going to eat any. I'm just saying, from a culinary standpoint—"
"..."
"Scientifically."
Oscar blinked slowly.
The clone crossed his arms. "You know what, you're a crystal lizard. You literally eat rocks and metal."
Oscar chirped with great dignity.
"…You!"
The duo turned sharply.
"…Here, over here!"
At the back of the room, a man in tattered pyromancer robes was inside a barrel.
[ Name: Laurentius of the Great Swamp ]
[ HP: 120 / 1,380 ]
"Please… You must help me..."
The butcher charged.
Author Note: And with that, the chapter comes to a close.
2. Why is it green?
Regular Show.
I am not joking. The moment I was writing that scene my brain went straight to the soul ball from Season 3, Episode 3, Skips Strikes. That green glowing bowling ball.
I had originally planned for the Soul Rasengan to look like the soul orbs scattered across Lordran, a white ball with a wisp tail trailing off it. But honestly the Regular Show reference felt more fun so I went with green and white wisps inside the shell instead. No regrets.

3. What would the Magic Rasengan look like in other locations?
Because the Magic Rasengan pulls from whatever energy saturates the surrounding environment, the variants are essentially limitless depending on where Naruto is standing.
That's It… For Now.
I want to thank you all for taking the time to read, comment, and follow along with this story. Your feedback means more than you know, and it helps push me to make each chapter bigger, sharper, and more true to the worlds of Naruto and Dark Souls.
Until next time,
Praise the Sun.

[ Personal Note: First off, thanks a ton to all of you for sticking with this story. Seriously, you guys are awesome. Now, if you're interested in supporting me on P@treon, let me just say that over there, I post these massive 15k-word chapters. But heads up, if you're jumping to P@treon, you'll need to start from Chapter 99, since that's where this chapter lines up with the content there.
To everyone here just reading along, please don't forget to leave a comment! Honestly, your comments make my day, and they let me know you're as invested in this story as I am. So yeah, thanks again, and I hope you have an amazing rest of your day!
