For example, Akatsuki were also kinda secretive during the part 1, but some high-ranked ninja like Jiraya already got some intel regarding them. Shojoji doesn't seem to be on that level while he isn't even an official ninja, but a criminal. If Kara's existence is already leaked, why it was leaked only to Shojoji and not to any of the official ninja? Because Shojoji leads a highly notorious group of thieves?

Akatsuki were a highly secretive mercenary group, hence they inspired interest. As far as we know, Kara is just a group of people with no known intentions, so why would Konoha/Sasuke have any interest in them before Boruto received his mark.
