I dont see how this can happen unless oro's henchmen are incredibly weak. the cursed seal was shown to give you super speed/strength when they showed it on sasuke vs the three sound nins, but now these 12 year olds are able to defeate jounins at level TWO curse seal? </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
welcome to the world of anime, where kids who train for a month can defeat experts who put thier whole life into fighting...
Kishimonto doesn't have enough plot writing experince to make the 'super powered kids' sympthome seem half beliveable.
I can stand Neji (a super genious) and Naruto (a monster) winning against all the odds, even chouji can pass with his last resort sacrifice pills, but there's no way i'm gonna buy it if Kiba and Shikamaru win a one-on-one fight. Kiba is an loud mouth idiot, who is probably the 'avarge' male genin, and Shikamaru is 'good only in running away', he couldn't even beat the sound nins who were after them in the forest, and i don't think he'll be able to do shit against any of the sound five, even without the curse seal lvl1.
but still, i've seen worse cases of 'kid overpower experts', just think about Flame of Recca ("look! i have a madgou which makes me ultra strong! i can kick you legendary ass in no time!"or Dragon Ball ("sure, you are the strongest guy in the world and you won the championship many times, but i trained the last eight months! and so i can beat you in no problem!"
that's one of the problems of Kodoma animes, you can't write normal kids as heros if you want it to be a reasonable and intersting story...
