Hiei locates a mechanism to lift the ceiling, allowing the trapped group to escape being crushed. Meanwhile, Kurama engages Genbu, the first of the four Saint Beasts, who possesses mastery over stone-based abilities. Utilizing his plant powers and intuition, Kurama manages to split Genbu into pieces. The beast then demonstrates the ability to disassemble and reassemble itself during an attack. Kurama ultimately secures victory by identifying the specific weakness in Genbu's reassembly process, leading to the creature's defeat.
