When the dark paste on his hand was ready, Kurama withered down the berry plant in an instant but didn't waste any time returning the remaining seed to its nesting place. Instead he grabbed for another seed that sat innocently on tatami before him and sent a quick but powerful flare of energy into the tiny structure. Thorned branches practically exploded forth from within the hard exterior of the seed. The tangle of green rapidly grew into a vile looking bush that took up most of the doorway.
Undaunted by the spines that protected the single fruit born by the bush, Kurama reached his hand in to pluck the large heart-shaped fruit from their midst, careful not to allow his hand to come in contact with any of the deadly branches. This he tore in half, and ignoring the juices that were running down the length of his arm, used his grass-blade tool to scrape the berry paste into the juice-filled bowl that the fruit provided. Using his fingers he broke up the clumps and stirred the mixture as best he could.
Fully aware that time was running out and that the old woman's organs could stop functioning at any second, Kurama held the fruit bowl in one hand and used his free one to lift Genkai's head. The impromptu doctor poured the liquid slowly into her gaping mouth until every drop had been spent then gently rubbed the unconscious victim's throat to make her swallow. Discarding the empty fruit shell, he hunched over the failing body and began pouring his own energy into the dying carcass as well.
