Well, in Naruto, its about who you kill rather than simply just killing.

For example, Sasuke "killing" Orochimaru, good, him killing numerous Iron Samurai, not so good.

Also, many of Gaara's "victims" were assassins set after him, so its not like you can really fault him for killing them. In fact, during the Chunin Exams there were no bars on killing your enemy, they just tried to stop it before it went that far. So, for example, Gaara killing the Rain Genin isn't really a big deal because that was part of the risk of the exam.

Pranking was more about being a nuisance, and honestly, I feel it was only treated so seriously because the villagers already hated him. For example, when Boruto did it, you can clearly see a difference in treatment. When Boruto does it, no body cares.
