Sure one could argue that Naruto still counts at that point cause he can participate in the chunin exams but does it really? Shinki has magnet release as seen in the new trailer. It's his cloak. BTW: Haku wasn't Zabuza's kid. Not literally his kid. But at this point haku was pretty much adopted.

Naruto at the time of Sage Mode would still be able to participate in the Chunin Exams. It's when he gets his Kurama cloak that he might as well instantly pass.
