Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had brought Ōtsutsuki Urashiki to the prison precisely because Urashiki's interrogation methods were not as convenient as using the Rinnegan to directly extract a spirit body.
After all, every dōjutsu had its own strengths and weaknesses.
Isshiki's original dōjutsu had been neither the Rinnegan commonly seen among the Otsutsuki Clan nor the Sharingan common in the Ninja World, nor variants such as the more advanced Tenseigan or Jōgan. It was an Asterisk Eye with an intricate pupil pattern.
This dōjutsu possessed strange and unfathomable abilities. Combined with superior taijutsu, it could unleash unexpected power. In the original timeline, Naruto and Sasuke, who had endured the Fourth Shinobi World War and were in their prime in their twenties, had been utterly overwhelmed by Isshiki using this dōjutsu.
Overly prominent advantages often meant there was some sort of shortcoming.
Although Isshiki's Asterisk Eye was powerful in direct combat, it was clearly inferior to the Otsutsuki Clan's traditional Rinnegan in terms of versatility.

Isshiki, standing nearby, asked, "What is it?"
Stopping his soul extraction, Urashiki curled his lip. "What a coincidence. This monkey is actually that guy's teacher!"
Isshiki's expression shifted slightly at that.
He had not expected to learn much useful intelligence from Orochimaru. After all, a ninja of Orochimaru's level was not important enough to warrant much of his attention.

"Huff... huff..."
Orochimaru's spirit body had just been pulled from his physical body. Though he panted heavily, a strange glint appeared in his exhausted eyes. He now understood exactly what Isshiki and Urashiki wanted to learn from him.
