Uchiha Ying Yue stood on the training ground, pondering how to acquire Destiny points more efficiently.

The system informed Ying Yue that Destiny points are primarily obtained in two ways: gaining the recognition of others and altering the fate of the Ninja World.

For the current Ying Yue, the latter remained somewhat distant, while the former was relatively easier. But how exactly does one gain the recognition of others? It was indeed a broad concept.

Ying Yue knew that gaining recognition could be achieved through various means.

Does helping others and receiving their gratitude count? Does demonstrating strength to earn respect count? What about resolving crises? Theoretically, all of these could win the respect and trust of others.

However, these all required experimentation to confirm. Ying Yue decided to formulate a detailed plan to better acquire Destiny points.

Over the next few days, Uchiha Ying Yue was frequently active in every corner of Konoha Village, enthusiastically helping the villagers.

Ying Yue's actions caused quite a stir in the village, and many began to look at this Uchiha boy in a new light.

Ying Yue helped the village elders carry heavy loads, pruned gardens, and even chatted with them to alleviate their loneliness.

Ying Yue helped many children find their lost pets, which not only made the children happy but also made their parents feel relieved and grateful. Ying Yue took the initiative to help villagers repair damaged houses, ensuring everyone's living space was safe and comfortable.

These good deeds by Uchiha Ying Yue made the villagers sigh: "Has this Uchiha boy had a change of heart? He's so warm and kind. Aren't the Uchiha Clan all cold, serious, unsociable, and arrogant?"

Ying Yue's behavior gradually changed the villagers' perception of him; they began to think that Ying Yue was not quite like a traditional Uchiha.

After several days of effort, although Uchiha Ying Yue had accumulated some Destiny points, the speed was still too slow—he had only saved up 100 points. At this rate, while he could eventually obtain Wood Release, the efficiency was still too low. To improve his strength faster, Uchiha Ying Yue decided to change his methods to acquire Destiny points more rapidly.

During these few days, Ying Yue helped many villagers and gradually learned about the situation in Konoha Village.

Uchiha Ying Yue noticed that the state of the orphanage in the village was worrying. Most of the children there were war orphans caused by conflict, and their living conditions were extremely harsh.

This chaotic Ninja World was not lacking in people with tragic fates, and the orphanage's funds were stretched thin, barely maintaining operations and the children's basic needs.

A plan formed in Ying Yue's mind; he decided to sponsor the Konoha Orphanage to quickly acquire Destiny points.

Was Uchiha Ying Yue rich?

The answer was: extremely rich!

When organizing his memories, he discovered that the inheritance left behind by his parents—from the Uchiha and Senju clans—was simply staggering. It was truly the foundation of a millennium-old clan! Both of Uchiha Ying Yue's parents were powerful Jonin, and his grandparents seemed to have been former elders of the Uchiha and Senju clans, resulting in a very substantial inheritance left for him.

Uchiha Ying Yue sat in his room, flipping through the sealing scrolls left by his parents.

Ying Yue's heart was filled with shock and surprise; the wealth he possessed far exceeded his imagination. Just in ryo, he had over two hundred million—enough to buy the heads of six Sarutobi Asumas at the black market Bounty Exchange.

Ying Yue decided to donate a large sum of money to the Konoha Orphanage to ensure the children could live better lives, thereby gaining a massive amount of Destiny points.

Uchiha Ying Yue carried a relatively small sealing scroll, its heavy weight making him feel an inexplicable excitement and anticipation.

Hidden within this scroll was approximately one million ryo, a considerable sum for anyone.

Ying Yue walked with light steps along the streets of Konoha Village, eventually arriving at the Konoha Orphanage on the edge of the village.

Although the building was slightly old, it radiated a warm and intimate atmosphere.

Children spent their childhoods here; despite not being wealthy, the place was filled with love and care.

Uchiha Ying Yue stood at the entrance, took a deep breath, and then gently pushed open the door.

As Ying Yue stepped into the courtyard, he immediately felt the laughter of the children and the innocent atmosphere.

They were playing in the yard, chasing each other, their faces beaming with bright smiles.

Ying Yue had learned from the villagers that the head of the orphanage was named Yakushi Kira. He had seen her purchasing food for the Konoha Orphanage on the streets of Konoha a few days prior; Ying Yue had even chatted with Yakushi Kira and helped her out, gaining an understanding of the orphanage's current situation.

Yakushi Kira was a kind old woman, about sixty years old, with graying hair and a face etched with the traces of time.

Her gentle eyes revealed resilience and wisdom, and her entire being radiated a motherly warmth.

Kira had once been a veteran medical ninja of Konoha Village before retiring. In the early years of Konoha's founding, she established the Konoha Orphanage, taking in many children who had lost their parents due to war and other reasons.

When he saw Yakushi Kira again, she was just walking out of the orphanage building.

Accompanied by a little girl, Yakushi Kira wore a warm smile as she saw Uchiha Ying Yue: "Little Ying Yue, why have you come?"

"Let me introduce you; this is my granddaughter, Yakushi Nonō."

"Nonō, this is Uchiha Ying Yue, a very kind and helpful good boy."

At that moment, Ying Yue's gaze fell upon Yakushi Nonō, and his heart stirred as he immediately recognized this ninja who played an important role in the original story.

"This is Yakushi Nonō, right?" Ying Yue asked tentatively.

Yakushi Nonō nodded slightly, her expression carrying a hint of vigilance: "Yes, I am Yakushi Nonō."

Ying Yue knew that the little girl before him had a complex background in the original story, but he decided not to think about that for now and focused on the matter at hand.

"Director Yakushi," Ying Yue continued, "I came today to discuss an important matter."

"I have decided to donate one million ryo to the orphanage, hoping to improve the children's living conditions and provide them with a better environment to grow up in."

Upon hearing this news, a flash of surprise and emotion crossed Yakushi Kira's eyes: "Ying Yue-kun, are you really willing to donate so much money to us? This is truly wonderful news for the children."

Yakushi Nonō also relaxed her expression slightly, and a hint of respect appeared in her eyes as she looked at Ying Yue: "Ying Yue-kun, your kindness is admirable. However, I cannot accept it. Although the Uchiha Clan is a wealthy family, one million ryo is still a lot. Little Ying Yue, you must have your own needs for money as well."

Uchiha Ying Yue nodded: "I am very wealthy; this money is not even one-tenth of my assets. Just consider it my contribution to the development of the orphanage. I believe you will put it to good use. The children at the orphanage need more love and support, and I am willing to do my best to help them."

Yakushi Kira held Ying Yue's hand, moved: "Ying Yue-kun, we will use these funds properly to ensure the children can live better lives. You are a great benefactor to these children. Thank you."

Uchiha Ying Yue felt a warmth in his heart; he knew his decision was correct.

This would not only help the children at the orphanage but also allow him to accumulate more Destiny points and improve his own strength.

[Host, by sponsoring the orphanage, you have gained the recognition of Yakushi Kira and altered the fate of the children at the Konoha Orphanage. Destiny points +800]
