Hill Hall

Azuki Hilumia’s DoJang
- Is Engulfed in secrecy
- Its ninjas are spread across the garden but we don’t know why
DoJang refers to Azuki holders who have the “Ninja Patch” in their collector profile. On the website, it says that “Most recently, some Azuki reported that they saw some of the Dojang’s ninjas headed for the deep desert, but to what nefarious purpose, we can only speculate.”
This might be implying that we’re going to see more things including Azuki’s ninja patches.
Slowpoke
