Shadow clones are not always worth it. It's a B-rank technique (rank reflect difficulty of performing a jutsu), which means it's fairly difficult to learn/perform, and the user may be better off keeping the bulk of their chakra in their own body instead of distributing it evenly among shadow clones.
