Naruto: My True Form Is a Shinigami, and My Shadow Clones Train Themselves into Gods

Naruto: Awakened as a true Reaper, Xia Li could have chosen to lie flat, but instead he picked the most brutal way to live: the Shadow Clone Technique, grinding himself to the bone!

While everyone else sleeps, he trains. While everyone else falls in love, he trains. While everyone else fights, he is still training. Six clones grind away at once, and when he runs out of chakra? His true Reaper form gives him an endless supply.

Obito breaks down in tears: "Xia Li used Shadow Clones to literally grind three hundred Hidden Rock shinobi to death just to save me!"

Kakashi questions his entire life: "His taijutsu... it's even more terrifying than Might Guy's."

Orochimaru licks his lips: "That body is going to be mine."

Xia Li says expressionlessly: "I'm just an ordinary genin. Please let me train in peace."

Then his Zanpakuto leaves its sheath, and the entire shinobi world erupts.

The Third Hokage takes a deep drag: "So, is this kid a Reaper or not?"

His enemies break down: "You call this a genin?!"

Xia Li: Just keep grinding. Besides, I'm a Reaper, so what have I got to fear?
