Hey, guys! Here is the fourth chapter of Super World Chronicles. Hinata is ready to confess her long-awaited feelings of love to Naruto. Hope you like it.
Chapter 4 - Confession Time
Dallas Union Station, Dallas, Texas
"I-It's fine if you guys wanted to come. I'm surprised you wanted to after I told you where I'm heading." Tohru explained, walking down with her American best friends and classmates from Highland Park High School: Arata Sakaki, Naruko Anjou, and Kiro Yukihira; they just left the Dallas Union Station. Alongside them is a Tonkinese cat named Fuku.
To Tohru, it's been at least five days since she's sheen Naruto, Ichigo, Alphen, Pan and Izuku after their initial meeting on June 15, 2014; the day they met that night. She's planning to see them and their friends since she remembered seeing the address texted to Izuku's phone.
(A/N: June 15 is the first day in Super World Chronicles, while June 18 is the first day of Holy World Chronicles. Meaning, Super World Chronicles starts three days earlier than Holy World Chronicles.)
Her three friends and Fuku were very curious and wanted to meet Tohru's new friends. Not being suspicious or distrusting at all.
"It wouldn't hurt to show the friends you've known since grade school." Arata explained.
"Yeah. Especially the pretty ladies." Kiro said.
Naruko looked disgusted and elbowed Kiro in the gut with her left.
"Keep that to yourself." Naruko said.
Tohru and Arata laughed sheepishly.
"I just hope there aren't any dogs. I'm not a fan of dogs." Fuku thought, sleeping inside Tohru's bag with his head sticking out.
The four friends and little cat continued on their journey to where Naruto and the others are.

Five days have passed since the Union have started bonding with each other and learning about their skills and livelihoods after the Room King competition; Hinata, Orihime and Shionne won with their cake baking and very unique room.
Since then, everyone began to learn about the pasts and low-key secrets of each person in the Union. Each were big enough to cause sympathy and sadness, and some were small enough for laughter. The much bigger secrets can come later when the situation demands it. Everyone in the Union have forged many strong bonds and equally respect each other, even the recently redeemed Sasuke and the aloof Bakugo; they can also see spiritual beings that ordinary humans can't like Soul Reapers, Hollows, etc.

It's 11 AM and mythology class on the second floor has ended, allowing everyone to have their free time before next class in 1 hour with half of the Union this time.
Naruto stretched his arms, as the team are now in the Common Area to relax.
"I was hoping class wouldn't end." Naruto said.
"You were basically drooling on your desk." Kaminari commented.
"So were you, Jamming-Yay." Kyoka teased.
Kaminari sulked.
"Now, everyone! Please make use of this time to unwind and relax. But half of us must report back to the second floor for next class in one hour!" Iida hollered, doing his "robot arm motion gag".
"Iida never relaxes, huh?" Shikamaru asked.
"He takes his duty very seriously." Momo Yaoyorozu replied.
Hinata was fidgeting very nervously in the background, starting at Naruto as he began conversing with Ichigo and Izuku.
Orihime, Shionne and Ochaco sighed.
"This ain't going to be easy for her." Shionne thought.

It happened yesterday around 9:39 PM in the Common Area, and everyone in the building either went to sleep, do an all-nighter, or train.
The only ones currently up were the girls of the Union: Hinata, Orihime, Shionne, Ochaco, Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Rukia, Momo Hinamori, Rinwell, Kisara, Camie, Tsuyu, Mina, Kyoka, Momo Yaoyorozu, Nejire, Itsuka, Hatsume and Melissa. Eri, Hootle and Nala were also among them, but right now they're sleeping with Eri on Ochaco's lap, Hootle on Rinwell's right shoulder, and Nala sitting comfortable on the couch next to Kisara, mostly on a red wool blanket so her hair doesn't get on the couch.
"Man… today's training was brutal." Mina complained.
"I know. But the results are actually worth the growth in our strength." Tenten explained.
"Easy for you to say." Momo Hinamori said, doing some journaling on her lap with a black pen and a spiral notebook with 80 pages.
"Well once our teachers find the stones, the training may pay off in the end." Itsuka explained.
"I hear ya here." Rinwell said, petting the sleeping Hootle.
"As long as we're together, nothing can stop us. Right, Hinata?" Sakura asked.
Sakura didn't receive a reply as Hinata was drifting in her own thoughts.
The rest of the girls see Hinata's thinking expression and wonder what that meant.
"Hyuga-chan?" Orihime asked, giving a light poke to Hinata's right shoulder that caused her to jump.
"Are you okay? You seem kinda down." Tsuyu said.
"I-I'm not down! I'm just fine!" Hinata exclaimed.
"It's… just…" Hinata said, calming down as the girls listened in.
"My heart's been feeling all stirred up. Plus, my mind's been on-" Hinata explained.
"Is it about Naruto?" Sakura asked, in a teasing manner.
Hinata blushed extremely red.
Mina was screaming happily on the inside with the outside grinning madly.
"Hinata likes Naruto? Really?" Nejire asked.
"Oh yeah. WAY back when they were kids." Ino explained.
Orihime, Shionne, Ochaco, Rukia, Momo Hinamori, Rinwell, Kyoka, Mina, Momo Yaoyorozu, Nejire, Itsuka, Hatsume and Melissa had their jaws to the floor in surprise.
"That's totes adorable." Camie said.
"That explains why she's been a nervous wreck around Naruto for the past four days." Tenten explained, finished cleaning her weapons with a wet wipe.
Hinata covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.
"Hey, I got a good idea. Why not tomorrow afternoon take him to Klyde Warren Park to hang out for a bit." Sakura explained.
"That's a great idea!" Mina hollered.
"But you're not going to spy on them, Mina." Ochaco said, giving the acid user a warning.
"Oh come on! I wanna see it myself!" Mina exclaimed, wailing her arms wildly.
"Well, you forget last time you dragged Eri to make me and Deku-kun confess, which while it worked out for the both of us, it's like shipping on what you want." Ochaco explained.
"She's got you there." Tsuyu said.
"At least some of us have boyfriends." Rinwell said, making Ochaco, Shionne, Mina, Kyoka, Camie, Itsuka and Hatsume blush.
"Coming from the girl who goes crazy over a certain *punch loving idiot*." Shionne said, making Rinwell blush harder.
"Might wanna add Inoue-chan and Lieutenant Kuchiki since they started dating too." Momo Hinamori explained.
Orihime and Rukia blushed hard.
"H-How'd you know?!" Orihime and Rukia exclaimed.
"Seriously! Tell us!" Mina, Rinwell and Hatsume hollered in unison.
Rinwell and Mina were bombarding Orihime and Rukia with questions on who their boyfriends are, Hinata thought for a minute that tomorrow could be her chance to confess her feelings to Naruto, the boy she'd admired and followed for so long he was the source of overcoming her timid nature and improving her skills.
All the girls that were listening smiled brightly as they quickly share their ideas how to help Hinata ask Naruto out to Klyde Warren Park.

Back in the present, a knock on the front door was heard.
"I'll answer it." Naruto said, being the first to rush to the door.
He opened the door of the Heroes Agency and to his happiness, it was a smiling Tohru.
"Tohru!" Naruto hollered.
"Naruto-san!" Tohru cheered, waving her right arm.
"Did he say Tohru?!" Ichigo, Alphen, Pan and Izuku exclaimed in unison.
The quartet quickly rushed to greet Tohru as well with relieved and joyful expressions.
"It's so good to see you guys again!" Tohru hollered.
"Same here, Sohma-san." Izuku said.
"Been five days, huh?" Ichigo asked.
"Hehehe. Guess falling on your house was lucky." Naruto laughed, unknowingly getting hard glares from Ichigo, Alphen and Pan.
The Hidden Leaf ninja pitied Ichigo, Alphen, Pan and Izuku for getting involved with Naruto and his crazy ideas.
The Straw Hats began to pity Naruto, Ichigo and Izuku for being apart of Luffy's half-baked plans.
"Oh! I also brought my friends. May we come in?" Tohru asked.
"Friends?" Naruto asked.
"That be us." Arata said, revealing himself, Naruko and Kiro.
Naruto nodded and moved aside allowing Tohru and her friends come inside.
Fuku also came out of Tohru's back and stretched his legs.
Eri awed with sparkly eyes.
"Cute kitty!" Eri hollered, attempt to go and pet it but Ochaco held her up.
"Now, now, Eri. You need to let the little kitty get comfortable with strangers first." Ochaco explained, in a motherly tone.
Eri pouted, which Kota tried to calm her down.
"Don't worry. Fuku likes kids, but isn't a big fan of dogs." Tohru explained, as holding Fuku to give to Eri.
"Really, sorry. Just not comfortable around dogs." Fuku explained, as Eri gently petted the Japanese cat.
Kiba and Akamaru felt tense being near the cat and decided to hold their tongues and not do anything unnecessary.
"Nice to meet you all." Arata said.
"Yes! We thank Sohma-san for taking care of our friends!" Iida hollered.
"Uh… kay…" Arata said, startled by Iida's tone.
Kon and Mineta attempted to make a "move" on Tohru and Naruko, but Shionne, Sakura, Rukia, Rinwell, Tsuyu, Momo Yaoyorozu, Mina and Itsuka stopped them in time.
"Don't even think about it, you pervs." Shionne said, in a threatening manner.
"Don't worry. Kiro-kun isn't any better with the girls he's tried to hit on." Naruko explained.
Kiro felt an invisible arrow stab him through the heart.
"That just hurts…" Kiro said.
"Jamming-Yay's no different. But he's nice at heart." Kyoka commented.
"Was that a compliment, honey?" Kaminari asked, having a sweat drop on his forehead.
Everyone in the room laughed.
Hinata smiled at Naruto making new friends since coming here, before remembering last night on what she needed to do.
Blushing, Hinata slowly walked towards Naruto and tapped on his shoulder to get his attention, as he was talking to Tohru with Ichigo, Alphen, Pan and Izuku.
Naruto turned to look at Hinata.
"Is something wrong?" Naruto asked.
"Um… I was wondering…" Hinata replied.
"If this afternoon… can you go to Klyde Warren Park with me?" Hinata asked.
Everyone in the room became silent after hearing that.
"Sure. I'm free in the afternoon." Naruto said.
Everyone present became shellshocked.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY AGREED!" Orihime, Shionne, Ochaco, Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Rukia, Momo Hinamori, Rinwell, Nala, Camie, Mina, Kyoka, Momo Yaoyorozu, Nejire, Itsuka, Hatsume and Melissa thought in unison.
"Guess he really does like her." Kisara and Tsuyu thought, the only ones who somehow saw this coming.
"So Uncle Naruto and Aunt Hinata are a-" Eri explained, but was stopped by Ochaco put a finger on the Rewind Quirk user's lips to silence her.
"Now, now." Ochaco said.
Eri pouted.
"O-Okay!" Hinata hollered.
"Just make sure you're back in time for your next activity, you two." Aizawa explained, causing everyone to jump after noticing the Class A homeroom teacher was standing in the kitchen.

Klyde Warren Park, Dallas, Texas
Six minutes later…
Naruto and Hinata parkour the buildings from above like ninjas with swift speed as they race to Klyde Warren Park, which happens to be on 2012 Woodall Rodgers Fwy.
Once arriving at their destination, the two ninjas decided to go around walking together to enjoy the scenery and have some fun.
It had plenty people walking about, but not too much. It did have plenty of food trucks, music and fitness areas, frequent arts displays, and even some children games.
For the last few minutes, they had some money to eat lunch like hamburgers and fries, participate in a few children activities with the younger kids, and even joined in a fitness exercise of jogging.
"It feels nice, huh?" Naruto asked.
"It is." Hinata replied.
"I can't imagine enjoying a place like this with just the two of us." Naruto explained.
Hinata blushed after hearing Naruto say "two of us".
Hinata noticed a bench and quickly dragged Naruto to it before he could explain himself.

Now sitting on the bench together, Naruto and Hinata became silent for a while as they watch all the people having a good time.
"Hey, Naruto-kun." Hinata said.
Naruto turned to looked at Hinata.
"Why did you agree to come with me to the park when I asked?" Hinata asked.
"Because I remembered you talking about going to the park when we were constructing our home." Naruto replied.
"You kept talking about wanting to go there a lot and I wanted to asked you that. But it looks like you beat me to it first." Naruto continued, chuckling.
Hinata gave a smile that could make most men kill for her attention.
"Thank you." Hinata said.
"This might be one of the best moments you and I have together in a long while." Naruto explained.
"Yeah…" Hinata said, before looking down and thinking to herself.
"This is your chance. One chance that must not go to waste!" Hinata thought, mustering up her courage.
"Naruto-kun, I…" Hinata said, startling to stammer.
Naruto raised an eyebrow with interest.
"I wanted to say thank you… for everything." Hinata said.
"You've been my inspiration to keep moving no matter what I faced." Hinata continued.
"You were my hope. My hero." Hinata continued, as Naruto became more interested.
"That's why I… I…" Hinata continued, now stuttering more.
But Hinata was interrupted by Naruto… with a kiss on the lips that took the Byakugan user by surprise.
The kiss lasted for a few minutes before the two released for air, blushing.
"You already said "I love you" to me once. Just want to make it official… because I really feel the same way." Naruto explained.
Hinata felt like crying, but held back her tears as she leaned on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto in return, held her hand with his right and gently brushed his fingers on her blue hair.
The two continued to be like this for a while with the atmosphere in a cheerful mood.

For about another hour, Naruto and Hinata enjoyed the start of their relationship at the park by having more fun before deciding to head back to meet with the others.
Once they arrived, everyone back at the Heroes Office were waiting for them and bombarded the couple with loads of questions like "How was the date?"; "Did Naruto mess up?"; "Was Klyde Warren Park enjoyable?" The girls of the Union were most giddy when their plan succeeded.
Soon enough, Tohru and her friends were getting ready to leave and had to say their goodbyes.
"It was really great to see you all again." Tohru said.
"Have a safe trip back home, Tohru. Heck, you'll see us again soon enough." Naruto explained.
Tohru giggled.
"I sure will." Tohru said.
Tohru turned her attention to Hinata, who is standing next to Naruto as she held his hand.
"It was nice to meet you, Hyuga-san." Tohru said.
"It was nice to meet you too, Sohma-san." Hinata said.
The three chuckled as Arata, Fuku, Naruko and Kiro said their goodbyes to everyone else.
Soon enough, the four friends and cat began their leave.
"It was really nice seeing Tohru again." Ichigo said.
"Meeting her friends were really nice too." Luffy said.
"Making friends is something the five of you have in common. Quite amazing." Sakura commented.
"Well that's great and all, but now we have activities to attend to later." Iida explained.
The mood of the atmosphere changed to a gloomy one.
"Way to kill the mood, Iida." Mina said.
"Oh dear! My apologizes!" Iida exclaimed, frantically apologizing to everyone present.
"Serious as ever, Iida-kun." Izuku thought, having a sweat drop on his forehead.

Unknown Dimension
The wastelands were shrouded by evil and madness, and the air covered with a shadowy black veil that spells doom.
Standing in a middle crater were four unknown individuals; each individual were evil to the core.
One stepped forward, acting like the leader of these individuals, slammed a strange fan-like weapon to the ground as a blue aura enveloped the first individual.
"I'll be seeing you on the battlefield soon, Nine-Tails." The first individual said.
Preview Skit:
Naruto: That was really fun, Hinata.
Hinata: It really is, Naruto-kun.
Naruto: Now we'll climb new heights to overcome our enemies and winning this war.
Hinata: And we'll have our friends right beside us.
Naruto: Believe it!
Hinata giggled.
Hinata: May I finish things off then?
Naruto: Off course.
Hinata: Next time: Chapter 5 - Hero Exams: Part One.
Naruto: Not bad.
Hinata: Thank you.
Did you enjoy it? I'm glad Naruto and Hinata are together, which is quite obvious in the canon series, and my most favorite ship in the Naruto series.
I did research on the best parks I could find in Dallas, but none like New York's Central Park. So, I just went and find one closest with people and lots of fun, which is why I picked Klyde Warren Park. If you don't like the idea, I'm happy to other suggestions.
