@Legion I mean you can go back and forth on the sensing thing I suppose, but it's what makes the most sense to me since no one in the series seems to move at light speeds at all Except that time that Naruto did you deny it because you dont feel like anyone had done it before. I dont see how Naruto could have done just because it was seemeingly unprecedented. No one ever met Hagoromo's ghost before Naruto and Sasuke, doesnt mean they didnt do it.

Gai bending space with sheer speed alone signified that he was at least apporaching lightspeed and Madara was able to percieve it happening

Also, no one else having ever done it is untrue. Haku did it back in the Land of Waves Arc. By his own claims, the Demonic Ice Mirrors uses his reflection to move him around. Reflection is just light being bounced off of a surface. If that isnt enough for you, the first databook corroborates this saying twice that the mirrors allow him to move at light speed
