In order to stand guard at the sealed Jyuubi’s essential body (/vessel), which is the Gedou Mazou that was produced by the “Rikudou Chibaku Tensei”, he and his clan migrated together towards the moon. Thanks for this, and it seems to confirm much of my (and other's) idea.

I think the moon was actually created in two phases. Chibaku Tensei just seems to create a solid sphere, but The Last shows that the moon is actually some 80% empty. I think that after Chibaku Tensei, he and/or Hamura actually shaped the moon to become habitable.
