    This should do it for you:

    create table #temp 
    (
        id int, 
        parentid int,
        data varchar(1)
    )
    insert #temp (id, parentid, data) values (1, -1, 'a')
    insert #temp (id, parentid, data) values (2,1, 'b')
    insert #temp (id, parentid, data) values  (3,2, 'c')
    insert #temp (id, parentid, data) values  (4,3, 'd')
    insert #temp (id, parentid, data) values  (5,3, 'f')
    
    ; with cte as (
        select  id, parentid, data, id as topparent
        from    #temp
        union all
        select  child.id, child.parentid, child.data, parent.topparent
        from    #temp child
        join    cte parent
        on      parent.id = child.parentid
    
    )
    select  id, parentid, data
    from    cte
    where topparent = 2
    
    drop table #temp
    

    EDIT or you can put the WHERE clause inside the first select

    create table #temp 
    (
        id int, 
        parentid int,
        data varchar(1)
    )
    insert #temp (id, parentid, data) values (1, -1, 'a')
    insert #temp (id, parentid, data) values (2,1, 'b')
    insert #temp (id, parentid, data) values  (3,2, 'c')
    insert #temp (id, parentid, data) values  (4,3, 'd')
    insert #temp (id, parentid, data) values  (5,3, 'f')
    
    ; with cte as (
        select  id, parentid, data, id as topparent
        from    #temp
        WHERE id = 2
        union all
        select  child.id, child.parentid, child.data, parent.topparent
        from    #temp child
        join    cte parent
        on      parent.id = child.parentid
    
    )
    select  id, parentid, data
    from    cte
    
    drop table #temp
    

    Results:

    id  parentid      data
    2   1              b
    3   2              c
    4   3              d
    5   3              f
