he was the fastest when he was alive because anybody who might have been faster than him if their life had been prolonged was dead, having no speed thereon. Being dead doesnt invalidate the speed they once had. You are adding the stipulation of "only living"

Furthermore even if they did mean no ninja had ever been faster than him, most likely nobody had enough knowledge of past shinobi from 100s of years ago to be credible in saying that. They would have knowledge of ninja at least 2 generations prior. If their was anyone faster than him.
