It's still possible given none of those weapons were implied to hit vital organs and given this  is anime, unless you  get a headshot or  strike to the heart, they're not dead.

Naruto Land of Waves arc was hit by hundereds of senbon as well as Sasuke and neither of them died and they were kids at their weakest stages of power. I think mages who are adults would be made of sterner stuff that that.
