One good example could be a story where Naruto is cold towards Hinata at first due to some misunderstanding. Maybe he thinks she's too shy and it's a sign of weakness. In the fanfiction, Hinata could then prove herself by showing her strength in a fight, which starts to change Naruto's view. For instance, when they are on a mission together and Hinata saves Naruto from an enemy's sneak attack. This could lead to a gradual warming of their relationship as Naruto realizes there's more to Hinata than he initially thought.
A great cold Naruto and Hinata fanfiction might involve Naruto being cold because he's afraid of getting too close to anyone after all the losses he's faced. Hinata, on the other hand, still admires him from afar. In the story, Hinata could start leaving little anonymous gifts for Naruto, like warm scarves she knitted herself. Naruto would be initially cold about these gifts, but as time goes on, he starts to wonder who is giving them and becomes more curious about Hinata. Eventually, he discovers it was her and begins to open up to her.
There could be a fanfiction where Naruto has been cold towards Hinata since their academy days. He was always focused on getting stronger and impressing Sakura. Hinata, though, has always had feelings for Naruto. In this fanfiction, an event like the Chunin Exams could be a turning point. Hinata's brave fight against Neji, despite her fear, catches Naruto's attention. He starts to see her in a new light, but still maintains a bit of coldness. However, as they continue to train together and Hinata keeps showing her determination, Naruto's coldness slowly melts away.
