You need to have a definite fight platform. Where are we fighting, are we initially hostile, and what counts as 1 on 1 here?

If we aren't initially hostile, all Naruto is going to really see is either a big pretty tree that he suddenly wants to lie down and die under, or a masked armored person suddenly vanishing.

If we are, well, the tree is apparently well more than capable of withstanding most forms of brute-force extermination (and the non-brute-force-by-direct-combat ones likely require specialized and primarily religious tools that I doubt a ninja is going to be carrying on his person for whatever reason)

And while he's not going to stop searching for the invisible and silent person, he is likely going to be unable to sense him, and even if he does have heat vision or otherwise can see the invisible silent man, a rune axe with the fire of the sun (or worse, a holy dragon bone dancing with frost, fire, and electricity) coated in jarrin root poison is likely going to be a pretty big finisher.
