That is lava chakra. But Naruto wasn't the one who created the lava chakra, Son was. So Son is the one who merges earth and fire chakra, not Naruto. He gave Naruto the lava chakra, Naruto only set it free. Same goes for Shukaku and his Magnet Release.

I'm not sure if that's the correct translation of the Mizukage's words, though... And that mixture is still earth and fire chakra. Thinking like that, we would simply not list Naruto as a Lava user because he didn't mix the chakra either.

He used the Lava, that makes him a Lava Release user. He didn't use Earth and Fire to create Lava, thus he is no ER/FR user.
