Elgb's "Beastial Rage" EDGES!!!

Equipment: Well this is an interesting comparison of pitting a sharper but melee-oriented adamantium versus a ranged weapon that can be spammed like the kunais and shurikens. In terms of raw power, the kunais and shurikens areweak compared to the sharpness and damage that the adamantium can do. Wolverine's blades can pretty much slice through almost everything from tanks to Hulk's impenetrable skin (in some comics it can even penetrate Iron Man armor). But in terms of range and speed, the kunais and shurikens do have the edge. One shuriken or kunai might not make that much of a different to Wolverine, but spamming Naruto's Four Direction Shuriken Move would seriously fuck him up. Don't get me wrong Wolverine's skeleton tanks bullets and explosions but his fleshy parts can still be hurt and in some cases (depending on the writer) has been crippled by them before if extra pressure is added. So granted if Naruto can keep his distance his weapons can do some effect, but if Wolverine gets close then Naruto is toast.

However, there is one thing that adamnatium has that the ninja weapons don't, and that is in defensive applications. The adamnatium doesn't just act as a weapon for Wolverine, it also acts as a layer of defense. Sure Naruto can hurt Wolverine, but unless he has a weapon that can penetrate Wolverine's skull I doubt he can put him down permanently. EDGE: Wolverine

Powers and Abilities: Well this is a tough one. Wolverine only has a few set of powers in his disposal but they are tried and true and which he has completely mastered. Naruto is still a bit inexperienced with his powers (and using his unli-chakra as a whole) but it provides him with way more power, range and variety. They are slightly even when it comes to going up close and personal though, with Wolverine's superior martial arts beating taijutsu, but Naruto having more destructive capabilities with his rasengan and rasenshuriken.

But for the msot part of his life, Wolverine only used two strategies in battle: his method of rushing B and his method of  using stealth. Both of these needed to be in close range to be done. The thing is, Naruto's jutsus give him way more options besdies just going fist to fist like Logan. He can use his shadow clones to confuse Wolverine (these are magical clones so I doubt his senses would help him detect Naruto), rasengan and ranseshuriken to blast Wolverine, and summoning to distract him. Most importantly is his jinchuriki form, which really amplifies Naruto's powers, help him create blasts that can level up an area of a forest, and gives him a stregth and speed advantage that I doubt Wolverine can even keep up with. Even if Wolverine finally loses it and unleashes his berserker form, Naruto's jinchuriki form is still a more rageful stronger monster to deal with. EDGE: Naruto

X-Factors: Wolverine pretty much take it when it comes to training, experience and tactics. Before Naruto became a general of the Shinobi War, he wasn't really that smart or tactically-inversed yet during his genin days (yes, Naruto never made it pass to chunin). EDGE: Wolverine

Deadliest Warrior?

Like Battlefan, I am not a great expert when it comes to these warriors. I have only read some of X-Men and Wolverine comics, and the last time I watched Naruto was when I was still in High School (besides watching the newer movies like Boruto). With whatever geek-shit knowledge I have with these two warriors, I am giving a temporary tentative vote to Naruto for now.

In terms of physicality, which both these warriors rely heavily upon, Naruto is just superior. In terms of speed, Naruto takes it. I ain't going to the "FTL" BS here for young Naruto, but he is fast enough to move faster than the eye can see and dodge chakra blasts fluidly. Wolverine is fast, but he's not that fast. He can blitz enemies fine, but he is not...what does those Vs Battle folks call it? A bullet timer (he soaks up bullets more than he dodge them, not helped by the fact that his adamantium skeleton is heavy). But didn't Wolverine tagged the speedster Speed Demon and teleporter Nightcrawler? He did but not with the use of his speed, but by predicting his opponents path. Normal people like Nick Fury and Frank Castle has been known to keep up with him.

Also, Naruto is pretty much tougher and overall more deadly than Wolverine. For example, Wolverine can stand his ground pretty well against giant monsters like base Hulk, Wendigo and even the Wrecker, but for the most part he tends to get his ass kicked, while Naruto has fought and held his own against the giant Shukaku (using only his illusions and Gamabunta) and Orochimaru.

Another example can be seen in how these two warriros can give and take damages. Yeah Wolverine is almost invulnerable but he can still get knocked out with enough explosive power. Wolverine's most well known feat of surviving Nitro's nuke-like explosion still ended up with him getting knocked out (and it took him several hours to recover). Hell even a direct blast from the Punisher's RPG or a super taser from Nick Fury were enough to knock him out for awhile. Naruto on the other hand, eats similar explosions and then some, such as during his battle with the pseudo-jinchuriki Sora (yes for me filler arcs are canon). Granted Wolverine can increase his durability through his Berserker rage, but then he lsoes his tactical edge and would surely get wrecked fighting the jinchuriki up close.

Naruto can also unleash more than enough explosive power that Wolverine can take. One rasengan is enough to blast a large crater through solid ground, and a blast from the jinchuriki is enough to create a really large town-sized crater through a forest. A shot from a large rasengan or a blast from a jinchuriki is more than enough to put down Wolverine for a long time. Wolverine himself has a damn hell of a track record. Sure he can take on Hulk and Spider-Man, but he also gets too cocky and get defeated by Daredevil, Ogun and Punisher. The only way for Wolverine to win is with preparations or by retreating, but in a straight up fight, Naruto takes it.
