    The Springtime of youth is unstoppable. That's reason enough, I reckon...

    Too true. It was even a little unplausible way back when they took on the Sound 5 and won. They each had to take it to their limit, but in the end they defeated enemies with superior abilities, including the ability to "power up". During filler time, it's routine.

    Maybe the difference between Jounin and Genin isn't so much power level and ability, but more the knack for leadership and increased mastery of skills and techniques. Even with superior skills though, having heart and inventiveness can win out, so the Genins stand a chance against Jounin. Or maybe it's just poor writing. Or maybe Konoha lives by higher standards, so it's tougher to gain Jounin level than at other villages.

    The sound 5 thing is a little diffrent when compared to these fillers though. You have to remember the sound five fought a couple of jounin in the forest before fighting the genin. They where weekened, and had to use the cursed seal to take them out also. Also the only two that were killed by one genin where considered the weakest, and lost to a genius/chunin level ninja (in skill at least) "neji", and a steroid induced chouji (he should have lost still lol). While the others had to be killed by 2 genin/chunin each. After they where tired out fighting 1 person they had to face sand ninja also. Also kimi fought garra which we all know isn't genin lvl at all.

    What im saying is atleast in the real story they had little things to make it more believeable, instead of fillers where everyone is unstopable.

    Well, in this they have like a dozen genin vs. 4 people we can assume are jounin level, so it's about 3v1. And they don't have uberizing curse seals (I hope).

    Also remember that 4 of the Sound 5 are only Chuunins.

    2nd level curse seal definitely brings them above Chuunin level in combat ability.

    Everyone else's jounin suck...duh! Actually thats always been something I've hated about every single one of these fillers. Usually its just naruto vs. the commander of the enemy jounin and Naruto wins easily (hes able to happily walk home after the fight).

    Btw, the part I didn't understand about the recon/med team was why would they put the 3 recon people in medical positions if anything happens, especially if the 3 recon people have absolutely no idea what they are doing medically (maybe with the exception of Shino and his poison-sucking insects).
