Swift Release (迅遁, Jinton) is a rare advanced nature kekkei genkai that originates from Sunagakure that allows the user to mold together Wind and Lightning natures and infuse his body with it in order to enhance and increase his movement speed. Swift itself has no elemental weakness but it does have limitations on its use. While Swift Release enables the ninja to move quite fast, he can only move in a straight line and in simple movements. As the ninja comes into close, immediate range of the enemy, to use Taijutsu itself, the user needs to slow down and becomes quite trackable and can clearly be seen. Because of this, strong and High Level Taijutsu users such as EIG users and Kaguya ninjas as well as Byakugan, Rinnegan and Sharingan users (2T and above) will be able to produce even rudimentary counters. Swift can't also be used to increase ones hand seal speed nor can its speed be added to weight decreasing techniques (removing leg weights or using the Earth Weight manipulation techniques) as the boost in speed it produces is the same regardless of mass, volume, etc of the ninja and it doesn't change the normal chakra molding speed of the user. When facing a Swift user, altering the ground is always a good defense. Mud, Water, Ice, etc are all surfaces in which using swift becomes harder and less efficient. However, swift release can be used mid-air but to a lesser extent than when its used on the ground. While the description of this KG makes it very similar to the Eight Inner Gates, when comparing Swift Release with them, the differences are clear. While the first one enables the user to coat/infuse himself in a special chakra that makes him able to move, for a brief moment, at high speeds in a simple fashion for simple movements, the other increases the overall body speed of the user. This means that while an EIG user will be able to do everything fast, a Swift user can only "run fast" (in a matter of speaking).
