It could be that Root has turned against the village in the fanfiction's storyline. Naruto, who loves his village more than anything, would see Root as a threat. If they start attacking the village or its people, Naruto would fight to defend it. His power might be too much for Root members to handle, resulting in their deaths.
Maybe in the fanfiction, Root has been brainwashing or using people in a cruel way. Naruto, with his strong sense of justice, would oppose this. He could discover that Root is behind some dark experiments on innocent villagers. In his anger and determination to stop such atrocities, he might kill members of Root.
One possible reason could be that Root has some evil plans that directly threaten Naruto's friends or the village. Naruto, being the protector, has no choice but to take them down. For example, if Root was planning to assassinate the Hokage and Naruto found out, he would fight back and might end up killing some of their members.

One possible reason could be a misunderstanding during a battle. Maybe there was some sort of jutsu misfire or misinterpretation of an attack.

In a 'Naruto leader of root fanfiction', Naruto could be leading Root in a new mission. He decides to focus on protecting the innocent rather than just following the orders of the village blindly.

It could be a miscommunication. Maybe Hinata said something that Naruto completely misinterpreted in a very negative way, like she didn't love him anymore or she blamed him for something major. This misunderstanding could be so great that Naruto loses hope and takes his life.
