The Kaguya terrified any who saw them tear out their own bones to wield as weapons and leap into battle with ecstatic bloodlust. Born with natural talent and unique powers, they fought innumerable battles against each other and other clans, causing untold devastation across every island as they carried out their missions. Where the other nations used shinobi to fight against others in their struggle for dominance, these islands all technically belonged to the same nation which only made their warring more senseless and brutal than most.ДЄmong the clans that fought in these wars, it was the ones with kekkei genkai that were the most desired. The clans were given missions to sink ships, burn farmlands, and raze settlement in an ever-escalating feud between islands.
