Toneri's orbs don't actually appear to be called Truthseeker Orbs in the novelization, though they seem to be functionally identical (black orbs that can be used to attack, transformed into objects, etc.)

The novelization calls them a. Of course, that's just how the author describes them, and they're never mentioned or described in any actual character dialogue or in the film.

And I never said that Hamura uses Six Paths Sage Mode, just that the databook says the Truthseeker Orbs signify that the user has awakened the same power as the Sage of the Six Paths, be it through Six Paths Sage Mode, the Coffin Seal, or some other means. The impression I get is that they're associated with the "enlightenment", indicative of the user comprehending the nature of chakra. But that's just my impression.
