It could also be due to Sasuke's secrecy.

Trust is built on honesty and openness, and if Sasuke is being cagey, Naruto's trust in him will fade.

Maybe there was a mission where he thought his teammates didn't have his back. Another reason might be that there are secrets among the team members that Naruto has discovered, and these secrets make him question their loyalty. For example, if one of his teammates was hiding a connection to an enemy, Naruto would naturally start to lose trust.

Well, in some fanfictions, Harry might not trust Dumbledore because Dumbledore often keeps secrets. For example, he doesn't fully disclose the prophecy details at once.

In some fanfictions, the author might want to create a new plot twist.

Maybe in the fanfiction, Harry has had bad experiences with adults. For example, some adults in the story might have betrayed his trust in the past, so he becomes wary of all adults.
