Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight against Naafiri if her packmates are already dead from camp clearing, because her Q damage and bleed are significantly weaker without the packmate proc bonus — activate W when she lands Q to negate the burst and heal through the bleed, then auto her down.
From level 6, you win the 1v1 cleanly if you let her R and E combo land first, absorb it in W, then re-engage with your own R active, as her cooldowns will be burned and she has no reliable way to disengage from your sustained DPS.

Naafiri typically runs a three-camp clear into Scuttle, starting either Red or Blue and taking the adjacent small camp before crossing to the opposite buff — she clears slower than you and her packmates take damage during camps, so she often arrives at Scuttle with reduced packmate count.
She may also look for an early invade if she spots your path, as her kit is designed around aggressive early skirmishing.

You should invade Naafiri after your second buff clear at around 3:10-3:20, targeting whichever buff she started opposite — her packmates will be partially damaged from clearing and her Q will be on cooldown if she just cleared a camp.
The optimal location is her jungle entrance near her second buff, as catching her between camps with your Q to dodge her Q and W to sustain through her bleed gives you a decisive advantage.

Do not use your Q to engage onto Naafiri when her packmates are at full health and she has Q available — you will take the full bleed damage plus packmate attacks while airborne, and her E repositioning can cause your Q to miss its return path.
Your critical mistake is underestimating her burst window at levels 3-5 before you have sufficient lifesteal to sustain through her full combo with packmates active.
