In the manga: Shojoji talks about Kara, cut to a meeting with Kara. Boom. We see them, thus, we know they exist. The whole point of this episode is answered in one chapter.

"Yeah, but the Leaf Ninjas don't know they exist yet"? They literally start searching in the next chapter. That's how Konohamaru stumbles on the vessel, which leads to him being attacked by droids, then Ao, who confirms Kara's existence, then Kashin Koji kills Ao, further establishing it. By the time they come back to the Leaf with Kawaki, Sasuke's had the time to find out more info.

We don't need an episode telling us "Hmm. So Kara exists!"

Naruto didn't do an episode showing us that Akatsuki existed, they just showed us Itachi and Kisame, then took it from there.

This episode was pointless, they could've skipped it, it would've made no impact on the overall story. We could've seen the Victor episode that came out this week a week earlier, taking us one step closer to the main plot, instead of constant filler.
