Past few episodes have been really good.. Probably biased because Itachi is my favorite character of the Naruto series..
But mixed with the story of Akatsuki now, this is the best in a long time


The two guys in front of Zetsu look new to me
The one guy teaming up with Itachi seems to be Jūzō Biwa one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist
