The Ghost Army's anti-air attacks naturally posed no threat to Sarutobi Toru and the others. Even Rasa's group, the weakest among them, easily blocked the arrows.
But the Ghost Army was enormous and seemingly endless. With countless arrows flying through the air, everyone was thoroughly annoyed.
Moreover, a ninja's Chakra was limited. With the Ghost Army constantly harassing them, Rasa's Chakra might already be exhausted by the time they reached Moryo.
