Happy birthday, Naruto! This story is dedicated to one of my favorite anime characters as well as another. For this story both Naruto and Izuku will have harem, meaning both boys will get some lovin'. Originally I was going to post this along with updating or posting others, but I just couldn't have the time today. So I just settled for this.

Anyway here is the story.

Prologue: Hope Shines through Despair

Inside a bedroom sitting on the bed with their arms wrapped around their legs and head burried into the knees was a peach skinned 4 year old boy having messy green hair that had black shadows with green eyes and four symmetrical freckles on both cheeks wearing a red shirt, blue shorts, and white shoes. This boy's name was Izuku Midoriya.

And currently he was in great grief.

It all started when he protected someone from his former best friend Katsuki Bakugo and his lackies. Sure the kid ran off without a single thanks and he got beat up, but he still felt good that he was able to help someone.

As he was taken to the hospital to get checked on he found out he was quirkless. Despair came through his whole body as he felt like he couldn't become a hero anymore. That was his DREAM! What he wanted to be in life! It was bad enough that his quirk didn't appear like everyone elses, but to find out he was quirkless just added on to the hurt.

When everyone else found out they stayed away from him and treated him like scum even more, it was so bad that he tried to hold on to the hope that he could be a hero. He was even watching a video of All Might on his computer to brighten himself up, but all it did was make him feel lower.

And then when his mother came in and saw what he was doing, it caused him to be at his breaking point. He even asked her if he could still be a hero without a quirk.

But all she said was,

"I'm sorry, honey! I'm so so sorry!"

Not even his own mother lifted his spirits.

He's saw it all. People pitying him, looking at him like a freak, telling him he couldn't be a hero without a quirk, degrading him, everything.

And one of the people that loved him whose opinion mattered to him,

And she didn't even believe in him.

Izuku felt like he just wanted to die and leave this world of hurt.

Suddenly he heard his door open and someone walking in. He looked up to see who it was, and it was the one person he felt like he couldn't face.

It was a fair skinned 4 year old boy having spiky green hair that had black shadows with blue eyes and three whisker marks on both cheeks wearing a black shirt, green shorts, and white shoes. This was Naruto Midoriya, Izuku's older twin brother.

Naruto has always looked after Izuku, was there when he needed him, and had his best interests at heart. It showed how much Naruto loved his brother. They made a promise that they would be heroes together that always fought for good, did what's right, protect those that were precious to them, and being saviors for the innocent or less fortunate.

Naruto has been in and out of the house for awhile visiting their grandfather but he had no doubt that he heard about his conditions, and didn't have the heart to face the one person who gave him strength and made him feel good about himself.

"Naruto-nii..." Izuku muttered.

Naruto didn't say anything for awhile and just kept looking at Izuku.

Til he walked towards his younger twin and grabbed him by the wrist yanking him out of bed and they walked out the room with the former pulling on the later leading them towards their backyard.

"What's going on, Naruto-nii?" Izuku asked.

"What do you mean? We need to get started." Naruto said looking back at him.

"Started?" Izuku asked tilting his head.

"Yeah. For your training."

"Training for what?"

"What else? To be a hero."

Izuku's eyes widen in shock before he pulled his wrist out of Naruto grasp and looked at him in anguish.

"What are you talking?! I can't be a hero! I'm quirkless! Everyone else has pretty muched said so!" Izuku shouted.

"Izuku..." Naruto frowned.

"We promised we'd be heroes together! But I can't do that without a quirk! You can cause you have one, but not me!" Izuku said as he started to cry.

"Hey..."

"Nobody believes I can be a hero! Not Katsuki! Not even Kaa-chan! And I just know you don't think I can be one! So what's the point?!"

SLAP!

Izuku's head was jerked to the side as his left cheek stung from the slap Naruto gave him.

"So what?!" Naruto shouted. "So what if you don't have a quirk?! So what if others don't believe you can be a hero without one! We always went out of our way to protect those who couldn't! Or helped those in need even if it was minimal! We've always had the right mindset in becoming heroes!"

Izuku turned to look at Naruto.

"I still have total faith in you! You can still protect people! Even if you can't be a hero you can still be a powerful sidekick! I still believe you can achieve your dream, Izuku!"

Izuku's tears were flowing down his cheeks hearing how one of the people who loved him still believed in him.

"Even if no one else will say! Not even Kaa-chan, I will!"

Izuku fell down on his knees feeling numb as the tears came out of his eyes even more.

"Izuku Midoriya! My little twin brother, I KNOW you can still be a hero!" Naruto said passionately.

"*Sniff* *Sniff* *Sniff* WAAAAAAAHHH!"

Izuku started to really bawl in tears at hearing the one thing he wanted someone to say to him. And it came from his older twin brother who never lost faith in him that he could still be a hero.

"Come here..." Naruto smiled kneeling down to Izuku and pulled him into a strong hug letting his brother cry his heart out.

"*Hick* Thank you, Naruto-nii! *Hick* Thank you for telling me I can still achieve my dream!" Izuku sniffed.

"No prob." Naruto soothed.

He pulled back and looked at Izuku who started to dry his tears.

"Now then, let's start that training. You can't become a hero if you don't work for it. Am I right?" Naruto grinned.

"Hai!" Izuku beamed giving a big smile.

And so for the next few hours Naruto and Izuku trained. In strength, speed, agility, reflexes, endurance, everything. All with a smile on their faces both filled with a massive amout of energy that came out of nowhere at wanting to be the very best.

Neither one knowing that someone was watching from the backporch.

When they stopped for the day Izuku was passed out on Naruto's back who was carrying him back to his room all with a big smile on his face.

Naruto layed him down in his bed and covered him up as he rested peacefully.

"Hero..." Izuku muttered smiling with a soft snore.

"Sleep tight, Izuku. Cause for what's to come, we'll achieve our dream together." Naruto smiled rubbing his head softly.

Naruto then got up and walked out of Izuku's room closing the door and headed towards him room.

"Naru-chan."

Naruto stopped and turned his head looking behind him to see a peach skinned woman having green hair that reached her back that had a small bun in the back with green eyes a slim figure with C-cup breasts wearing a pink long sleeved turtle neck, a purple skirt that stopped at her ankles, and white shoes. This woman was Inko Midoriya, Naruto and Izuku's mother.

"Hey, Kaa-chan." Naruto said fully turning towards her.

"Can we talk in your room?" Inko asked.

"Um, sure." Naruto said as they walked to Naruto's room. When they entered it mother and son sat down on the bed.

It was quiet for a few minutes as no one talked.

"I'm sorry, Naru-chan." Inko said suddenly.

"What are you apologizing for?" Naruto asked confused.

"For what I put Izuku through. For not believing in his dream. For not telling him he can still be a hero." Inko muttered.

"Kaa-chan..." Naruto frowned.

"He always tried his best. Being a hero has always been his dream. And when he was told he was quirkless, Izuku was so devastated. Everyone was putting him down telling him he couldn't be a hero without a quirk." Inko sniffed as tears got in her eyes as Naruto let her speak. "All he wanted was for someone to still believe in him and tell him he could still be a hero. But no one said it. Not even me." Inko then looked at Naruto and cried heavily. "His own mother couldn't even say those words to lift his spirit. But his brother did. You never lost faith in him. You still believed he could be a hero. I'm such a terrible mother."

"Oh Kaa-chan..." Naruto hugged Inko tightly as she hugged him back sobbing uncontrollably. "You're not a terrible mother."

"I wanted to tell him he could still be a hero! But I couldn't! I didn't want him to get hurt! I was just trying to keep him safe! But I ended up crushing him!" Inko cried.

"No one can fault you for that, Kaa-chan. Your just a mother wanting to protect their child." Naruto said rubbing her back.

"But! But...!" Inko stammered.

"No buts!" Naruto said pulling back and looked at his mother. "Izuku still loves you. And so do I." He said strongly wiping away her tears. "I still think Izuku can become a hero even without a quirk. And if not he can still be a sidekick. Cause I have faith in him, Kaa-chan. He gots what it takes."

"Naru-chan." Inko sniffed before smiling. "You always are the glue keeping this family together. Even after we were facing hard times when I divorced your father."

"Hey, any father who stays away from your wife and children all for a job and not even try to be there for them is a bastard." Naruto frowned.

"Language young man." Inko scolded.

"Sorry." Naruto apologized.

"Well I think it's time for us to go to bed. Can I leave Izuku to you?" Inko asked.

"You bet, Kaa-chan." Naruto grinned.

"Alright then, sweetie." Inko smiled kissing Naruto's forehead and left the room room.

Naruto smiled before laying down in his bed and let sleep take him.

Now like I said both Naruto and Izuku will have harems, but I won't reveal who til later, so you'll just have to wait. Izuku has started to become another favorite anime character of mine so I decided to show him some love by giving him someone who'll still believe in him no matter the odds, like Naruto. I hoped you all like the chapter and stay tune.
