He could tell that Otsutsuki Toneri was too proud to attack first, and that was his opportunity.
"Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon!" Jiraiya appeared above and to Otsutsuki Toneri's right, his wild white hair rapidly hardening and shooting out.
The densely packed attack swept toward Otsutsuki Toneri like a torrential downpour.
Otsutsuki Toneri raised his head slightly. A repulsive barrier formed instantly, stopping the Hair Needle Senbon from advancing another inch.
"Frontal attacks are useless against me," Otsutsuki Toneri said with a faint smile. Yes, frontal attacks were all useless against him.
For him now, repulsion was the best means of combining offense and defense.
It was also the method he now used most often.
Without a way to break through his repulsive blockade, defeating him was out of the question-they could not even get close!
"That strange attack again! He can use it for defense too?" Jiraiya frowned deeply. Hair Needle Senbon was the fastest and widest-ranging attack in his arsenal.

"Little Jiraiya, let's use that. His defensive technique doesn't seem to cover a very wide area." The old toad studied the invisible repulsive barrier as well before making his suggestion to Jiraiya.

Dying at the hands of a disciple he had once taught was indeed cause for a sigh.
