Yeah, I agree. the soldiers were too weak, I mean, they didn't push her back or block her even *once*. She is clearly too strong for this kind of show.

Why/how would she even appear in the middle of that group, that was stupid, sadly. She's a freaking Naruto-Ninja.
They protected the Captain, using a defensive formation and then she stealthjumped right into it as if she was Zabuza, without the fog and with full visibility.
