So as it turns out a lot of you wanted to see what the original draft of 'path of a hero' was like. If that's what you guys want then I'm all for it. Now in this story he still has his two quirks one of which is 'Time Skip', he's older in this story, and well I don't want to say everything. Also if anyone knows of any stories where Naruto has time skip let me know I'd like to read them. Anyways, now with that out of the way lets get on with the story.

Musutafu Japan. A city known world round for having possibly the best hero course on the planet. Everyone who wanted to be a hero dreamt of the day they'd get accepted into the school and possibly become the next All Might. However, not everyone wanted to be a hero. Some went on to become villains for whatever their reasons. Then there were some who were somewhere in between. Some like Naruto Uzumaki.

Sitting in a jail cell was a young man of average size. He had blond hair and the standard blue prisoner suit. He was sitting on his bed, eyes closed, in a laid back position. Seemingly not caring that he was behind bars. He made no movements, no signs of discomfort or anything. He was currently lost in his own thoughts.

"I wonder whatever happened to Dabi, last I remembered he decided to do another job when I got into this mess. Oh well, as long as he wasn't caught then it's fine." He was broken from his thoughts as the sounds of footsteps reached his ears. He frowned, he never had visitors and as far as he knew he was a s far away from another inmate as possible.

Opening his eyes he looked beyond the bars waiting to see who would emerge. Two people came into view, one much bigger than the other. The first is a slender man of average height with messy, shoulder-length black hair that partially hangs in front of his face and often half-opened black eyes. He also has a black outfit that consists of a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that tuck into his boots. He also wears a utility belt and a scarf. This was Eraserhead.

The second is an extremely large man with a very tall and overly-muscular figure. He has short blonde hair with two distinct bangs that stand up over his head. He wears a skin-tight blue body suit decorated with a red symbol that somewhat resembles a "Y". The symbol is designed with a white diamond at its center, with white lines connected to it that trace from his chest to his back shoulders. This was All Might.

He followed them with his eyes as they stopped directly in front of his cell.

"Antihero Naruto Uzumaki." Said All Might, his voice loud. "We have some questions we think you might be able to help us with." He finished.

Naruto sat up a bit and let a smirk come across his face. "Actually All Might, I prefer the term Vigilante. And besides what makes you think I want to help you? As a matter of fact, what's in it for me?" He asks.

Without missing a beat All Might answered "You'd be doing a great heroic duty for the future generation of heroes." As if that was the most obvious answer.

Naruto snorts and lays back once more. "Pass. I'm in here because I was trying to protect the people and yet here I am." He replied.

"You broke laws set for quirk users." Began Eraserhead "You killed numerous people, you may not have done it for money but you did accept it whenever it was offered. You handled jobs heroes had been hired for even though you didn't have a license to do so." He listed off.

Naruto scoffed and replied "Had I not done something a lot more people would be dead right now. You act like I killed all innocent people. I killed people who were in drug trafficking operations. I've done more than any of you for society. More young heroes will have a chance now because of me." He finished.

Eraserhead knew that to some extent Naruto was right about what he had said, because of that he decided to just move on. "You should think about it. You've been locked up for well over a year now. You're only twenty three you have so much more you could be doing with your life and for the good of the world, but instead you're here." He said. "Do some good and they might let you out early" He added as an incentive.

Naruto smiled at his silent victory, it was almost a universal thing where you win an argument when one turns violent or tries to stray away from a topic. "Alright, what is it you'd like to know?" He asked.

All Might was the one to answer. "You were the last known person to speak with 'All For One' we want to know what he's planning. He never did things for no reason." He said with a serious tone.

"I have a general Idea of what he's planning, don't know the details completely though. What I do know is that it's a pretty big deal if you ask me." He told them. The two pro heroes were silent and stared at him, giving him the notion that they wanted him to continue. He raised an eyebrow at this.

"Hey now information like this isn't cheap you know." He told them.

Eraserhead was the one to reply to that. "Even if we paid you what could you possibly do with money? You're locked up." He said curiously.

"Who said I wanted money? I have money, not here but I do have plenty of it. No, what I want is out." Seeing that they were about to speak he held his hand up. "You guys know there's no real link to me in the crime that got me here. I was set up by All For One. You guys can easily clear my name of this and get me out. You do that, and I'll tell you what I know." He finished.

The two heroes stared at him for a second before looking at each other. "You guys have until tomorrow to give me an answer. Until then, we're done here." With that he laid down on the bed and turned his back to them. Seeing the dismissal the two heroes walked away.

The following day Naruto heard footsteps once more and smirked. He was getting out. They wouldn't bother coming back if they had refused his deal. Though unless he was mistaken there was more people with them this time. He was right, one of the others was the same guard that brought him here.

The second was a small mouse like man, he was wearing a white dress shirt with a red tie and a black vest with black slacks and brown shoes. The rabbit seeing that he had the blonds attention spoke up.

"Uzumaki Naruto, my name is Nezu, I'm the principal of Yuuei high." He greeted.

Naruto nodded "I'd introduce myself but you already know me. If you don't mind me asking, why are you here?"

"Well All Might and Eraserhead told me about their visit yesterday. We looked into the case and true enough no solid connection could be made. The government needed someone to take the fall and you being there made you the top suspect. We negotiated with the government and did indeed clear your name." He explained. Naruto raised his eyebrows at this, they worked fast if they got it done in a day.

He figured they be back today to tell him they accepted and it would take a while.

"However, there was some countermeasures put in place for you to be free. You'll only be allowed your freedom if you agree to teach at Yuuei. I won't lie to you its more so we heroes can keep an eye on you. We know you were framed by All For One but the public doesn't. To them you're being released a few months early and think you're under watch.

You'll be assisting Eraserhead teach his class." He told him. Naruto could immediately connect the dots.

"So he can erase my quirk should I try anything funny." He stated. The mouse man nodded. "So I'm going to be working at your school under your watch. What about once classes are over?" He asked.

"We have arranged a place for you. You can do as you please but know that every once in a while a pro hero will be stopping by to make sure you're not doing anything funny." Eraserhead said. To the guard it seemed strange to have these sort of stipulations if he was innocent. To him it seemed unfair, but he didn't know that the blond was behind some of the assassinations he had tried to help solve.

Naruto rubbed his chin in thought. "It's not exactly what I want but it'll do. Perhaps I can even sweeten this deal a little bit." "Alright, that sounds good. But can I add something to that?" He asked.

"If it's within reason." Nezu replied.

"I haven't been able to stretch my legs in a long time. Once at Yuuei I'd like a spar with All Might. Of course he'll kill me at full power the way I am now so I'd say have him tone it down to about sixty percent of his true strength." He says. Eraserhead immediately knows something is wrong. There's a chance All Might would still kill him considering how long he's been inactive.

"What does he want" Eraserhead thought as he looked at the antihero through narrowed eyes. Before he could voice his concern the thunderous laugh of said man rang out and accepted the blonds condition.

"Then we have a deal." Naruto said as he stood up. The guard walked up to the gate and punched in a code, followed by scanning his ID, and finally pulling a handle. The bars quickly sparked electricity before dying down. He was free. They quickly went through standard procedure and handing him back his belongings and his old clothing.

He was a simple man. Black pants, black shirt and a large button up hooded coat. The only thing he was missing from his actual costume he wore was the armor he used under the coat. They filled out the proper paperwork and he was free to go. It was late so he was showed to his new home, it wasn't much but he could fix that.

The next morning he was told to report to Yuuei at 7a.m. When he reached the entrance he was greeted by Nezu. "Good morning." The mouse said as he motioned for him to follow. "As I said yesterday you'll be an assistant in Eraserhead's class. Though here you'll just call him Aizawa.

After class has ended I'll introduce you to the rest of the staff." He explained as he led him to the classroom. Naruto took his time to look around the school as they walked, it certainly lived up to the hype about it. It was enormous and well built.

They reached the door and the mouse man was about to walk off but was stopped. "Don't forget about my fight with All Might." He said.

He was sure he heard the mouse mutter something about impatient youngsters but couldn't tell for sure. "I'm a man of my word, you'll get your fight." Naruto watched him walk away and turned to look at the door.

"Not exactly how I pictured spending my time but it beats sitting in a cell I guess." He spoke to himself before knocking twice. He heard 'enter' and allowed himself in. He stepped inside and immediately everyone's eyes locked on at him as if he had just killed someone. They wouldn't technically be wrong though.

"This here is Uzumaki Naruto and he'll be my assistant teacher for the foreseeable future." He informs them.

"Is he a pro hero too? He doesn't look familiar." A pink girl asked.

"Depends on who you ask." Naruto replied. The girl seemed confused as well as the rest of the class but they couldn't ask what he meant as Aizawa took control once again. He began talking about special training, they would be divided into groups of two with one being the heroes and the other being villains.

As he did so Naruto took the opportunity to scope out the class and see who would stand out. Out of all of them only three caught his attention, the first was a boy with his hair being half white and half red. The second was the one with spiky sandy blond hair who was scowling at nothing. Finally, the last one was a meek looking kid with green hair, Naruto could tell he had something about him though.

They went ahead and stepped out to do the simulations. Overall it wasn't too bad, some of the kids had some talent, others needed some work. Two of the three he had singled out hadn't disappointed him.

Izuku as he later knew he was called had good strategy and if he wanted to could have killed Bakugo. Though his impression did drop when he realized that the boy had broken himself in the process of winning.

Tokoroki, the mismatched haired one simply froze everything and stepped inside to complete the objective. Worked similar to him, though Naruto wasn't as flashy doing so. You wouldn't even know he was there when he went on jobs.

Finally after what felt like forever the school day ended and the students were allowed to go home. As they walked out Aizawa nodded to Naruto to follow him, sighing he followed suit. They walked passed a bunch of students, some who didn't recognize him stared but didn't ask any questions.

"So what do they know?" Naruto asked as they walked down a hallway.

"They've all been filled in on why you're here and how we cleared you. Though some have questions they want to ask you." He told him right before opening the door to the meeting room. There were six people in the room. The first was All Might.

Next to him was possibly the most attractive hero out there at the moment, she wears a black breast-less leotard over a white bodysuit, which emphasizes her breasts, body, and legs along with translucent black thigh-high stockings and black knee-boots. She has a small mask outlining her eyes, a handcuff on each wrist, and a utility belt around her hips. She also sports a red domino mask. She is the 18+ only hero Midnight.

Next to her was a man who wore a tan trench coat that covers most of his body. Underneath is a skin tight, black suit with several gold stripes rising up from underneath his trench coat and disappearing under his helmet. His helmet is black and with a gold jaw-guard that ends in a circle-shaped hinge joint where his ears are. This is Ectoplasm.

Next was a man who wore a yellow helmet that's hooked up to a large steel appliance behind him. This metal device supports his body and has two large arms attached to it. The excavation hero Power Loader

Finally the last one wore a black jacket with an upturned collar complete with studs. He sports a tan, studded shoulder pads, black pants with a red studded belt, black boots, and black fingerless gloves. His neck is completely covered by a directional speaker. He also has long spiky black hair and a pair of sunglasses. Present Mic.

The sixth person in the room being Nezu spoke up "Hello Naruto, I hope you had a good first day." He says.

Naruto shrugged "It wasn't too bad, though I will say from what I saw you have some talent at this school if they get trained properly." He says as he takes a seat.

"We like to think every student in this school has the potential to be great." He comments "But anyways, we brought you here to introduce you to the rest of the staff you'll be working with for the time being."

"So they're fishing for information about me?" He 'asked' he knew what it really was.

Midnight laughed softly "He catches on fast."

Ectoplasm was the first to ask a question "What is your quirk?" They all looked at him.

"Time Skip. Not as in freezing time or anything like that but I skip forward in time if that makes sense. Probably doesn't since I still can't explain it correctly." he answers.

The heroes were shocked to learn this, there wasn't a hero or villain recorded who could mess with time. Up until now it was an impossibility. He wasn't about to tell them that he had two though.

"Where did you study?" Midnight asked being the first to get over her shock.

"I didn't go to any institute. I discovered my power at a young age and trained myself to use it ever since. I told people I was quirk less while secretly training, after I deemed myself proficient enough I went out on the field to work." he said.

Present Mic was about to ask why he didn't attend an institute but stopped as All Might spoke. "I think that's enough questions about that for now. We kept our part of the deal and released you and cleared your name of the crime. Now it's time for you to do yours." He said.

Naruto sat up a bit straighter in his seat. "That's fair. He hired me a few years ago, paid me a few hundred thousand yen to beat and capture some guy who had a fire quirk. Why he wanted him? I don't know, but he was paying me well so I didn't care." He began. Some of the heroes shook their heads disapprovingly.

"After that he continued to hire me paying more depending on what kind of quirk they had. Every time I asked why he wanted them he just said 'they have something I want'. Eventually I pieced it together, these people weren't strong or important. He just wanted the quirk.

He's collecting them for something. He might be using them for himself or could be building an army. Either one of those is bad news." he revealed. He left out the part where he tried to recruit him since they might keep a closer eye on him if they knew.

The heroes sat quietly digesting the information they had just been told. All Might was thinking if it was true that All For One was on the move again, then he'd have to take Izuku's training a lot more seriously now. He was broken out of his thoughts by the blond.

"Well, I also kept my part. Now there's one more you guys have to keep." He said as he looked at All Might. The hero put the thoughts of All For One out of his mind and nodded and stood up.

"I'm a man of my word. Let's go Naruto and you'll get your spar." The other heroes also stood up wanting to see how this would go down. As they walked to the arena Naruto had one thought on his mind.

"There's still a few people on my hit list. After that set up, All For One jumped straight to the top. Count your days."

So this is the original draft of Path of A story is a Naruto x Midnight story even though she's 8 years older than him. Tell me what you guys think, I don't know if I'll be continuing this story but if you guys really rock with it and wanna read more than I wouldn't be opposed to it.
