It's hard to tell why she's asking that. Sure, curiosity is pretty clearly part of it, but it might perhaps be slightly too blunt of a thing to ask someone in the middle of a conversation like this..
So that might be part of Alice's natural bluntness. Or perhaps it's a kindness, that's just been covered up by bluntness. Trying to redirect the conversation a little, away from the people who passed, and more towards Tobirama himself.
Even though Alice knows. She's seen the way war works up close, on a very personal level. She isn't too sure if Tobirama is involved with something like that in his world, but.. well, it would explain why everyone else who could remember a specific person would have passed already, even if Tobirama wasn't that old at all.
