Lee and Neji weren't good enough to catch up with an armless Deidara, had trouble dealing with the 10% water clone of a 30% Kisame and had a hard time fighting Zetsu clones. They're utterly out of their depth.

Numbers stopped meaning anything to powerful characters a long time ago.
Sasuke already dealt with at least a thousand fodders with ease and that was 3 or 4 power-up ago. Most if not all Kage level ninja can slaughter fodders in the thousands without breaking a sweat and a really powerful ones like Edo Madara virtually wiped out an entire division -a village worth of ninja- with a single move.

That's true, however even if from a plot perspective the rookies won't be killed off, they won't be able to put a dent in Sasuke either.
They might do better than they should if Kishimoto wanted to make that their moment under the sun but I doubt it, this time already passed and Naruto already warned them off Sasuke.
Naruto's always right, that's just the way it is. If they go against his wish, they're going to need saving.
