Naruto could also try to find distractions. He might take on more dangerous missions or get involved in village politics more than he usually would. By keeping himself busy, he hopes to not think about Hinata and the heartbreak she has caused him. In some fanfictions, he even leaves the village for a while to explore the world and get away from the memories associated with her.
He might isolate himself. Naruto has always been a social person, but the heartbreak could be so intense that he just wants to be alone. He might go to his favorite training spot and just train by himself for days, trying to forget the pain through physical exertion.
Sometimes, he might seek support from his friends. Although it's a heartbreak caused by Hinata, Naruto has a strong group of friends like Shikamaru or Sakura. They might offer him advice or just be there to listen. But it could be a struggle for Naruto to open up, as he is used to being the strong one. However, eventually, with their help, he might start to heal slowly.
