"Don't be disappointed so soon. Others may not be able to help, but I can. Although it will still take about six months, at least it can cure the disease, right?"
"Six months? That's really good!" Sasuke smiled, surprised that his grandfather had suddenly given him such a big surprise.
Unlike Sasuke's happiness, Tianqi was a little worried about himself, unsure if his body could hold up. But he decided that for his grandson's sake, he had to give it his all.
Tianqi slowly raised his hands, and green energy continuously emerged from them, gradually entering Sasuke's body. Sasuke enjoyed feeling this warm energy flowing through his body. Unlike Sasuke's enjoyment, Tianqi's forehead was covered in sweat, and his back teeth were clenched tightly. It was obvious that he was not feeling well.
The only solution Tianqi could think of was to remove the Sage Power from Sasuke's body to repair the hidden injuries within him. After removing one-third of the Sage Power, Tianqi finally stopped.
Upon stopping, his legs immediately went weak, and he plopped down on the stool, panting heavily. Even someone as strong as Tian Qi was somewhat disdainful at having stripped away a third of the purest immortal power from his body.
"Grandpa, are you alright?"
"Tianqi, are you alright?"
...
Seeing Tianqi weakly sit down, Sasuke, Tsunade, and the others stepped forward with concern and asked him what was wrong.
"I'm fine, it's just that I transferred a lot of power and suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed. I'll be fine after a day of rest. Sasuke, extend your right hand!" After shaking his head to indicate that he was alright, Tianqi looked at Sasuke again. He hadn't finished what he needed to do yet.
"That's enough, Grandpa, that's really enough, you don't need to do anything more!" Seeing his grandfather's pale face, Sasuke felt a pang of pity. Despite his youthful appearance, his grandfather was already an old man, and it was enough for him to do this much for him.
"This is what your grandfather owes you. All these years, the guilt I feel watching you alone in Konoha has never disappeared. Especially seeing you today, I feel even more guilty. Let me make it up to you one last time. This is the only thing I can do!"
Hearing this, Sasuke was deeply moved. He had always thought that his grandfather favored Itachi, but it turned out that his grandfather had always been there for him, caring for him silently all along.
Tsunade and Garuda also felt a little guilty. They thought Tianqi was too cruel to Sasuke, but it turned out that the person who cared about Sasuke the most was actually Tianqi. Their behavior over the past month was like that of clowns, which was really foolish.
Tianqi gently lifted Sasuke's right hand and placed his left hand on it. A massive amount of Yin energy was immediately transmitted to Sasuke. As the Yin energy arrived, Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye automatically activated and began to rotate at high speed. With the continuous stimulation of the Yin energy, the six-pointed star pattern slowly disappeared and was replaced by rings of Rinnegan. The Rinnegan and the six tomoe in the left eye formed a perfect pair.
Having successfully drawn out the Rinnegan, Tianqi's Yang power was activated and channeled into Sasuke's body. After doing all this, half of Tianqi's long hair visibly turned white, and wrinkles slowly appeared on his face, making him look more than twenty years older.
"Grandpa!!! Why did you do this, why did you do this..." Seeing his grandfather's extremely weak state, Sasuke knelt down, grabbed his grandfather's hand, and pressed his head against his thigh, tears streaming down his face.
"Yin and Yang Twins, now the power in your body is balanced, and your eyes can be opened and closed freely. I am satisfied to see your growth!" Touching Sasuke's head that was resting on his thigh, Tianqi's guilt finally disappeared by more than half. Now he had done all he could. What the future held was up to Sasuke himself.
Is it really worth doing this for someone like me?
"It's worth it! Anything is worth it for my grandson. Just like I said before, you, Uchiha Sasuke, will always be my pride!" Qi looked at his grown-up grandson with loving eyes, then said softly, "The enemy won't be coming today. Spend quality time with your grandmother; she truly cares about and misses you!"
"Okay, I understand!" Sasuke wiped away his tears and stood up.
"Garuda, please help me up and back to my room!"
Garuda helped the weakened Tianqi back to the room, where Garuda sat cross-legged on the bed and began to treat Tianqi.
"Garuda, thank you!"
"At your age, why say thank you? But I really admire you. You went to such lengths for Sasuke, you even managed to awaken the Rinnegan, that's amazing!"
"It's nothing to risk it for my family, but it's not that simple to cultivate the Rinnegan. In this world, only your uncle has the ability besides me. I just didn't expect the price to be so high. I don't know if I can recover by tomorrow!" Tianqi was also a little worried when he thought that guy would come tomorrow. He had to keep his promise to Sasuke.
"Given your condition, even with my assistance in treatment, it's unlikely you'll recover by tomorrow. And why are you in such a rush to recover?" Garuda asked, puzzled.
"Because I promised Sasuke I would help him deal with his enemies, that person should be coming to Konoha tomorrow. If I can't recover, I'm afraid I won't be a match for that guy!" Tianqi was also very worried when he thought of the person holding the red fishing rod.
"Who on earth is it that makes you so wary?"
"Otsutsuki Urashiki, the head of the Otsutsuki clan, and also a member of your grandmother Otsutsuki Kaguya's family. Underestimating him will come at a price!"
"Urashiki? The Otsutsuki main family? What's going on?" Garuda asked with a puzzled look.
"This is how it happened, back in the day, Kaguya Otsutsuki..."
Tianqi didn't hide anything and told Garuda all the information he knew about the Otsutsuki clan.
"...That's how it is, do you understand now?"
"Oh, I see. So our ancestors weren't originally from here. But Tianqi, how did you find out about this secret?"
"Hehe, that's not important at all. Whether you know it or not doesn't affect us much. The most important thing now is to help me recover, otherwise I'm afraid you'll only be able to look at my corpse in a couple of days!" Tian Qi quickly changed the subject. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about the source of this information. It was his little secret that he didn't tell anyone.
"Alright, alright, I'll do my best to help you recover. As for whether you can recover by tomorrow, I can't guarantee it!" Seeing that Tianqi didn't want to say more, Garuda didn't ask any further questions and immediately began to focus all her energy on healing Tianqi.
