Takuno had also conducted some investigations before using the Chimera Technique to fuse with the Uchiha bloodline.
Although the Uchiha Clan generally did not intermarry with outside clans to maintain the purity of their bloodline, there were still very few individual cases in the plot where outsiders might have married into the Uchiha.
Of course, Sasuke and Sakura Haruno do not count; after all, at that time, Sasuke was the only bachelor left in the Uchiha, with no women, so he could only look for outsiders.
However, he was still a little worried that the person he chose might happen to be a descendant of an outside clan, which would be troublesome.
For this reason, he also looked through the other party's file; fortunately, the other party was not an important figure in the Uchiha, and had only awakened his Sharingan shortly before his death, which no one else knew about.
Therefore, Takuno was able to access his file and confirmed that all of his elders since the founding of the village were Uchiha, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. As for before the village was founded, it would have been even more impossible for the Uchiha to intermarry with outsiders.
As long as the purity of the other party's bloodline was ensured, the awakening of the Sharingan could be left to him.
As for why he had the qualification to access the files, it was naturally because he was no longer idle.
After Minato became the Fourth Hokage, he naturally promoted his own people, and Takuno was honorably chosen to become the leader of the Sealing Team.
If it were any other team, Takuno would have refused due to the trouble, but for the Sealing Team, he eventually agreed.
After all, the leader of the Sealing Team could access the village's Sealing Jutsu, and most importantly, could access the barrier Sealing Jutsu that enveloped the village!
This was crucial for him to be able to use Summoning Jutsu to come and go at any time.
At this moment, Takuno looked at the bewildered expressions of those people in the thick fog, looking around; he had already tested that the Sharingan could see through thick fog.
Therefore, this Ninjutsu was called Ninja Art: Concealing Fog Technique, not the Kirigakure's Hiding in Mist Technique.
These two techniques have essential differences; the Hiding in Mist Technique is a special Ninjutsu of the Kirigakure, where the generated thick fog is filled with Chakra, and this type of mist can obstruct the observation of the Sharingan.
For example, Zabuza Momochi used the Hiding in Mist Technique to restrict Kakashi's Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
The Concealing Fog Technique created by Takuno is essentially very simple: it is a mist formed by the combination of Water Release and Fire Release. This mist does not contain Chakra, so it cannot obstruct the Sharingan.
There is also an example of this, just like the steam formed by the collision of Water Release and Fire Release used by the Second Hokage earlier could not obstruct Izuna Uchiha's Sharingan.
As for why Takuno had Fire Release? That's the Uchiha, you basically never see an Uchiha without Fire Release!
However, Takuno quickly deactivated his Sharingan; this time, he was not going to rely on the Sharingan to kill enemies, but rather... on perception.
He wanted to slowly comprehend from it, thereby triggering the power within the Uzumaki bloodline, which is the Mind's Eye of Kagura.
His figure moved silently; he merely walked slowly towards a Kaguya Clan member. By the time he reached the other person, they only just noticed him. As the Kaguya Clan member tried to pounce, Takuno had already cut his throat with a Kunai.
Afterward, he continued towards his next target as if nothing had happened. His footsteps made no sound, his movements emitted no fluctuations; he was like a ghost in this thick fog!
This was... Silent Killing!
Takuno did not know what Zabuza Momochi's Silent Killing was like, but the core of his Silent Killing was... Wind Release.
He used Wind Release to completely erase all traces of his movement, ensuring that his actions would not cause any changes in the thick fog.
He could even now use Wind Release in combat to reduce air resistance during movement and generate propulsion, thereby increasing his own movement speed.
However, it seemed unnecessary here.
Takuno walked casually, his Kunai constantly harvesting the lives of one Kaguya Clan member after another.
Suddenly, his footsteps paused. In his perception, Those Kaguya Clan members began to attack each other; they could not distinguish whether the people around them were enemies or allies, so... they treated everyone around them as enemies, and they struck mercilessly. Many had already died at the hands of their own comrades.
"Truly insane," Takuno sighed once more; he was almost accustomed to their madness.
However, this did not prevent him from taking their lives. They were slaughtering each other; when he wanted to kill them, they usually only realized someone was nearby at the last moment of their lives.
When the thick fog dispersed, Takuno stood upon numerous corpses, blood continuously flowing on the ground, yet his clothes remained dry, seemingly untouched by any bloodstains.
At this moment, he looked at the houses in the Kaguya Clan territory; in his perception, there was no one left inside.
They had all proactively come out to confront Takuno when they knew battle was upon them.
However, now, they all lay here, lifeless.
Thus, the Kaguya Clan was exterminated a few years ahead of schedule.
Takuno walked through the Kaguya Clan territory, his perception expanded to its maximum, searching for Kimimaro's figure.
He remembered that Kimimaro should have been confined in a very small cell, surrounded by what seemed to be uneven rocks.
As he pondered, he also paid attention to the architecture in this area.
Finally, after a long while, he successfully found a house with a basement and entered it.
Then he saw a cell, which, despite having torches, was still dim.
But Takuno also clearly sensed a faint, hollow fluctuation of Chakra coming from within the person. Feeling this fluctuation, he paused, then a smile curved at the corner of his mouth.
Because this should be a function of the Mind's Eye of Kagura; if he continued like this, he would eventually master all of its functions.
At this moment, he approached the cage, looking at the small figure within.
This year, Kimimaro was even younger than in the original story, yet he was already imprisoned in a cage.
"Who are you?" Kimimaro hadn't initially paid attention to who had come down, but when he saw Takuno, he was stunned, because in his memory, Kaguya Clan members did not dress like Takuno.
"I am a ninja who enjoys collecting various strange things, and I am very interested in your Kekkei Genkai, so may I ask if you can give me your Kekkei Genkai?" Takuno inquired.
Kimimaro was stunned; he didn't understand what the other party was saying. After frowning, he said, "But I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know how to give it to you."
