Naruto fans, you better believe it! That’s what the knuckle-headed ninja would want you to do. Later this year, a brand-new Naruto play is set to make its debut in Japan, and the folks behind the project are eager to get fans excited. After debuting a slew of character photos weeks ago, the official website for Live Spectacle Naruto has revealed more photos. And, this time, they are showing off several villains from the franchise.

UP NEXT: New Live-Action Naruto Play Reveals Character Photos
The new play, which is set to undertake the anime‘s Akatsuki organization, has now shown off photos of three fledgling members. Keishi Hagio can be seen playing Suigetsu Hลzuki while Kanon Nanaki takes over Karin, the red-haired sensor. And, to round-out the trio, Tomoya Yamaguchi is seen in character as Jลซgo.
Anime fans will be familiar with the three ninjas as they were comrades to Sasuke after the Uchiha left Orochimaru. The group was known as Team Taka, and the trio eventually teamed up with the Akatsuki after Sasuke learned the truth about his older brother’s past once Itachi passed.
So far, the three photos are the only ones to be released following the play’s first release. Earlier this month, character photos of Sasuke, Naruto, and Itachi were revealed to plenty of online buzz.
