Passive barrier ninjas like Mei, Garra and Darui are still used quite often in CN and are powerhouses. Barrier viablity will always be mediocre though, regardless of what treasures come out for the simple fact, if you arent the fastest then yours won't be up anyways or can easily be negated with free ninjas. Most people who still run them in CN are using the meta teams over there atm. Like for Kazekage, that team is comprised of bee, Garra, earth, and Kyuubi Naruto. It just comes down to preference and playing what you enjoy though. Some of my friends don't care about the Jin treasures and are going to pull in Kage until they get the ninjas they want. I'm staying in kage myself for Darui and possibly will stay there until I pull a super rare. I wouldnt rely on their barrier but instead focus on their overall capabilities and how well they fit into your team. Lastly, Im not sure if anyone can confirm if some kages are in Jin treasures?
