Tybaltcapulet's " Um, you run like a freaking idiot Naruto" Edges:

Equipment: Do I really have to explain this? You're putting standard ninja equipment, vs a virtually indestrucable material that also can manifest as claws? As the description states, the only real help this will provide Naruto is a quick distraction. After that it's all Wolverine. He'll have the claws for just about all of the fight, while I can't say the same about Naruto.Edge: Edgy Claw Dude

Powers/Abilities: I could go through all of the abilities here and try to compare individually, but what I see is pretty simple. And the basic question is, can Naruto's attacks get through Wolverine's healing factor, and Physicality? Honestly, I think it'll be quite hard for Naruto to do so, and will take his best abilities. It'll require him to constantly keep the pressure onto Wolverine and not get hit himself. This is because Wolverine is prone to sensory overload if too many intense attacks go at him at once. I don't see a Rasengan killing him, as it would A) have to hit someone as fast as him, and B) get past the skeleton. This to me wouldn't go as well as one may first think. All of Naruto's major abilities require Chakra too, and expending too much will essentially make him pass out or die,leaving him helpless against Wolverine.Also, being highly intelligent it'll be much harder for Naruto to utilize his abilities, as he'll be constantly countered by his foe's mind. The problem though, is that Jimmy here doesn't have a lot that can outright kill Naruto either, and will rely on his healing factor, durability and speed to even get close to Naruto. So on the one hand, you have Naruto a guy with very powerful energy attacks, but requires accuracy and time to pull them off against Wolverine. On the other, you have Wolverine, with the opposite problem, no cooldown time or overly exhausting abilities, but lack the outright power of Naruto.Edge: Even 

X-factors: Training i'm giving to Wolverine. Both warriors have a variety of different types of training across the board, but I feel Naruto's isn't suited for taking on Wolverine. Ninja training, infiltration nd other forms of similar training, are wonderful for an unaware enemy, but Wolverine is not that enemy. Naruto is a big fan of suprising his opponent, and with senses like Wolverine, that's just not gonna happen. Wolverine on the other hand is a lot more suited to taking on Naruto, also sparring and frequently keeping up his power and technique in the Danger Room ( not to mention the guy was trained by the CIA, basically the premier intelligence agency, and the Canadian Army). Experience is pretty even, because both have faced high level opponents across their universes and survived. Brutality may not sound important here, but i'm not counting it out on this battle. Naruto prefers to make friends or reform his enemies rather than try to kill them, and as a result, may not use his powers to the fullest to try to do so. Wolverine obviously has no such problem, and since this is basically self-defense for him, I don't see him having any problems with ending him. Tactics, i'm also giving to Wolverine. Again, Naruto's preferred method of combat is gonna make him suffer. When your mind works like Wolverine's and is able to sense and compute everything in his midn the way he does, your're not gonna pull a fast one on him very easily, and sending shadow clones won't shield Naruto from his sense for long. Overall to me, Wolverine is the better tactician, better trained, equally experienced and more likely to bring everything he's got to kill his opponent. Edge: Edgy Claw Dude

Overall: This... This is actually super close. Naruto clearly has range and overall power on his side with Rasengans and his other forms. But Wolverine has an execellent healing factor ( mind you not Deadpool levels but still quite useful), better and more powerful equipment, and the physicality to keep up with Naruto. He's also the more tactically sound and better trained warrior, letting him understand to situation and probably even figure out that Naruto requires all this energy to sustain his attacks. And if  Naruto is weakened through the fight and the claws get close to Naruto, he's done. ( The claws have gone straight through the Thing, a creature that could sustain hits from the Hulk). And let's say Naruto acquires Jinchūriki forms that help him out. There's a reason he doesn't like using it, and that's because he completely loses control after using it. But there is one thing that can shut down Wolverine. Once he reaches the fourth tail, virtually nothing can harm him. The trouble is,though that Naruto has to survive and conserve enough Chakra to be able to sustain it. And having to try to fight against someone who is as fast, durable, strong, and intelligent as Wolverine, this will be very dificult for him.( And no, the sexy form won't make James fall head over heel for him, in fact if he uses that, he's putting himself in danger) Naruto's tactical ability and combat style won't help him against someone like Wolverine, and he'll be forced to entirely change his movements and power usage to revolve around this. In short, Naruto will have to play by Wolverine's rules and that'll be the thing that screws him over in this fight. Overall I belive the Wolverine has enough power, durability and intelligence to overcome Naruto's abilities and emerge victorious.

( Keep in mind, I don't watch or read either character's series, so take this with a grain of salt)
