Dude, Tenmaku was a Konoha spy who infiltrated in Kiri to investigate if a Sharingan user was controlling Yagura and to steal Mei's Boil Release, but in that time he falls in love with her ​​and his disguise is discovered. In the end, he and Mei have to confront themselves and Tenmaku end up believing he had killed Mei, thus awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, but Mei's "murder" was just part of the plan to capture him. In the end, Tenmaku is defeated and during his deathbed he uses the Uchiha Secret Technique: Kotodama to destroy his eyes so they would not fall into the wrong hands.

So I don't know where Taiga can fit in this story, because Tenmaku passes only a few weeks in Kirigakure.
