An example of space–time ninjutsu being used.
Space–Time Ninjutsu (時空間忍術, Jikūkan Ninjutsu, English TV: Teleportation Ninjutsu" or "Transportation Techniques, literally meaning: Space–Time Ninja Techniques)[1] are techniques that allow the users to manipulate the space–time continuum.
Usage
By manipulating a specific point of space, the user can warp anything targeted into a dimensional void and teleport it to another location instantaneously. Minato Namikaze, Obito Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Tobirama Senju and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki are skilled users of space–time ninjutsu. Minato Namikaze and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki can stop time and perform other ninjutsu using this technique.
All summoning-based techniques are space–time manipulation related, as they warp the targets through a dimensional void to the summoner's location.[1]
It appears that each specific space-time technique has its own unique dimensional void that no other technique can access.[2] However, if techniques of different dimensions are similar in nature, a user can synchronise their respective dimension with the other one to gain access to it. To achieve this feat, however, requires much more chakra.[3]

Trivia
- In Naruto the Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel, Temujin summoned a distortion in space-time using his blood to activate the contract in the Sealing Room. However, the civilians of Temujin's Continent do not know what chakra and ninjutsu are, this remains debatable whether it can be counted as an actual ninjutsu.
