The time period of those attacks were never stated, however. They could have been at any point before the massacre began. As such, Kirigakure would have been exposed to the notion of the Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku. Additionally, given the sheer persecution in the village of Kekkei Genkai, why wouldn't they go to kill both Kimimaro and Hikaru as well if they had seen the power of the Shikotsumyaku first hand?
