Im not defending the ninja's, but the blades are mentioned as being monomolecular blades that would deliever the full force of the blade onto an extremely small area of the shield. And the sheilds may not defend from swords, as they only stop fast moving objects. Bullets are very fast moving. If the shield protected from everything, then you would not be able to pick up a glass of water
