Animal Realm, the body that supposedly can only summon, was seen using the substitution jutsu against Jiraiya, and I already checked it and it's not filler.
This? http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/368/12/

He just force pushed the clouds away, we just didn't know about his powers yet so it made it look like he had godly powers, just as Aizen Kishimoto planned

That... i can't explain it without spoiling but there's a reason for that

And ofc they can use the substitution jutsu, they can also walk on water and probably do a bunch of other basic ninja moves
