However, the most pressing issue was still the Karma Seal on his hand.
Now that it had sensed Otsutsuki Isshiki's death, the Karma Seal began radiating powerful soul power and Chakra, intending to transform Sarutobi Toru's body and soul.
"Soul Vortex!" Sarutobi Toru did not hesitate. Drawing upon Yin-Yang Release and combining it with a Secret Technique from the Yang God Daoist techniques, he immediately unleashed it.
Sarutobi Toru was not entirely unfamiliar with Karma. In fact, Black Zetsu, whom Otsutsuki Kaguya had separated from herself, had been created through an improved version of this Secret Technique.
Sarutobi Toru had once plundered all of Black Zetsu's memories. Thus, he understood this Secret Technique very well. Otherwise, with his cautious nature, how could he have dared to test the power of the Otsutsuki Clan's Karma Seal on himself without reservation?
Accompanied by a faint, almost imperceptible scream, Otsutsuki Isshiki's soul gradually weakened. "How is this possible? How can you resist Karma? You did this on purpose! You must have done this on purpose! You knew about Karma's abilities all along!"
Listening to the faint voice and screams at his ear, Sarutobi Toru remained expressionless. He merely increased the force of the Soul Vortex, and moments later, Otsutsuki Isshiki's soul and Chakra were torn into fragments.
The Karma mark gradually faded away. First, all the black slowly vanished, leaving behind a white Karma Seal. In the end, even the white Karma Seal disappeared completely, turning into a surging stream of Chakra.

"It doesn't seem particularly useful to me."
Though he said that, Sarutobi Toru was still
