It seems very unlikely that it'd be a Shadow Clone. Do you have anything that could back up your opinion?

Meh. There is no jutsu that make one appear/disappear. It's only shadow clones that disappear. I remember an episode where naruto had to master his wind nature energy, and talked with asuma sensei. It was a shadow clone who was talking with azuma, when they were done talking, naruto undid the shadow clone and azuma mentioned it was a shadow clone. it was episode 56, minute 7:35.

<p>The most common one I know of and I think you are talking about is the <a href="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Flicker_Technique" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Body Flicker Technique</a> (also known as Teleportation Jutsu, or <em>Shunshin no Jutsu</em>).</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/7syGcm.png" alt="Jiraiya vanishes in a puff of smoke"></p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The Body Flicker Technique is a high-speed movement technique,
  allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost
  untraceable speed.<a href="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Flicker_Technique#cite_note-Chapter_395-1" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><sup>*</sup></a></p>
  
  <p>To an observer, it appears as if the user has
  teleported. A puff of smoke is <strong><em>occasionally</em></strong> used to disguise the
  user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily
  vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra
  required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the
  user and the intended destination.</p>

iKlsR has given the correct answer. 
Kakashi uses that technique during Chunnin exam Preliminary round and Gai uses it to appear infront of Rock Lee to punish him for using a forbidden move against Sasuke.

The most common one I know of and I think you are talking about is the [Body Flicker Technique](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Flicker_Technique) (also known as Teleportation Jutsu, or *Shunshin no Jutsu*).
