Looking at Naruto you may have overlooked "Using Chi to enhance your own movement".

Any Genin seems to be able to use his chi (chakra in the show) to boost his leaping ability and before he reaches Chunin level he can do it on a sustained basis for long distance movement by leaping from tree limb to tree limb.

Shortly there after they learn wallwalking (Clinging in Gurps) and then waterwalking.

Running at blinding speed may actually be more advanced or at least left to specialists like Lee though any Jonin seems to be able to move to intervene in Genin level disputes so fast you start to wonder about teleportation (which it probably isn't as that appears to have been a Hokage level jutsu).
