Battle of Kikyō Pass

The Battle of Kikyō Pass ( 桔梗峠の戦い , Kikyō Tōge no Tatakai ) was a battle between Konohagakure shinobi and an unknown group. The battle took place at the end of the Third Shinobi World War . In the aftermath of the battle, it is said that a captain of the Medic Corps , Nonō Yakushi , found a single survivor from amongst the dead enemies: a young Kabuto , and taught him basic medical ninjutsu . However, this story was actually fabricated by Orochimaru .

This battle was first mentioned by Anko Mitarashi before the preliminaries of the Third Exam in the Chūnin Exams , just after Kabuto announced that he would not battle.
