LegionZero wrote: Being dead doesnt invalidate the speed they once had. You are adding the stipulation of "only living" no, if they meant he was the fastest ninja of all time they would've said so. Otherwise the better interpretation is he was the fastest ninja at that point in time, a point in time when ninja who were dead had already lost the speed they had during their lives. You are the one adding stipulations. If I say "you are the fastest" it's not adding any stipulations if someone interprets it as "you are the fastest (right now)"
