Hearing Tianqi's words, Elder quietly felt relieved. Choosing Tianqi had probably been the best decision he'd ever made. Not only was Tianqi powerful, he was also a good person.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye. Tianqi was now twenty-two, with only a few months left until his twenty-third birthday.

Apart from the Ten-Tails and the Rinnegan, he had mastered almost every kind of Wood Release, Senjutsu, and other ninjutsu.
