With this jutsu, Jiraiya's hair will grow in length to surround and protect his body. In this form, it also becomes rigid and spiked, in a manner similar to a hedgehog's or porcupine's quills, forming a layer of protection from direct strikes, and blows from certain types of weapons such as arrows. His face remains unprotected.

-Needle Jizō is a technique used by Jiraiya for defense and offense. Jiraiya's hair will grow in length to surround and protect his body. In this form, it also becomes rigid and spiked, in a manner similar to a hedgehog's or porcupine's quills, forming a layer of protection from direct strikes, and blows from certain types of weapons such as arrows. However, this technique was shown to reveal the face, this was because Jiraiya was still under the effect of the drug that Tsunade gave him, weakening his jutsus.
