The transition from enemy to ally/friend would be impossible unless Taiga were to defect from the Leaf in which Kyūketsuki would likely recruit him. Kyūketsuki seeks the destruction of ALL of the ninja villages in order to reshape the Shinobi World, a goal that would inevitably prevent any alliances with those affiliated with the villages in question. If Taiga were to put up a sizable fight he may be able to receive a slight respect from Kyūketsuki as a recognition of his abilities, although that is unlikely as well since he's more likely to kill Taiga if he were to become an actual threat to his objectives. So while the battle is possible (quite inevitable actually) any sort of alliance or friendship would only be possible if Taiga were to leave the Leaf altogether.
