I think I understand what Starit tried to say. He meant that in the manga and in the 114 episode of Shippuden, Itachi joining the Akatsuki is shown differently than in this episode. In the first case, Itachi joins the Akatsuki within some kind of shrine with all the Akatsuki members present and Pain calling him a new recruit, he's still in his Anbu uniform there, but in this episode, Itachi firstly meets Tobi, who then introduces him to Oro and Pain, and when the latter gives him the ring, Itachi already wears an Akatsuki cloak. Also, in the 114 episode version, Oro's attemp to steal Itachi's body presumably happened not so long after their meeting in the shrine, while Itachi Shinden is showing us Itachi's partnership with Juzo before that.
