Yeah, the war declaration kind of doesn't make any sense. You would expect that a guy like Shizuna, who is 18, would've at least heard stories about Naruto from the war and realize that they wouldn't stand a chance against the Leaf. The war against the Leaf would be more for returning back to the old times where i guess ninjas weren't "wimps" for living in a peaceful era. But it doesn't really matter if you go to war against the Leaf and eventually end up dying. This thing was indeed applied before the peace, but at least back them the 5 villages were at least at the same level of power and things were way more balanced.
