1) Ten-Tails is sealed by Hagoromo and Hamura into the Moon, thus removing the Ten-Tails from the earth and saving the day.

2) At a later time, using the power of the Rinnegan (which has been stated could move the Demonic Statue out of the moon, so it stands to reason it can also move the Ten-Tails), summoned the Ten-Tails from the moon and sealed it in Hagoromo. Doing this allowed Hagoromo to create ninshu and what not.

3) Years later, Hagoromo split the Ten-Tails into the nine tailed beasts, paralyzing himself but not killing him because he had the Demonic Statue, before finally sending that back to the moon as well and ending his life.

4) Hamura took the clan to the moon to guard the Demonic Statue which they did fine until Madara summoned it back to earth and instead of actually doing something about it just got themselves wiped out. The only thing that doesn't work with the idea of Hagoromo extracting the Ten-Tails from the moon is the fact that we were told Hamura went to the moon to guard its body while Hagoromo chose to stay behind and spread ninshu. Which only makes sense if Hamura left when the brothers were young, not when Hagoromo was on his deathbed.

Looking back, is it at all possible we all misinterpreted Kurama's statement about Hagoromo and the Mazō? Kurama says that the Mazō's life force will keep its jinchūriki alive and then is asked how it knows that, to which it asks who separated the Ten-Tails' chakra in the first place. But it never exactly says that Hagoromo survived because he also had the Mazō inside him. Maybe it was just a really awkward way of saying that Hagoromo told it that information. Could it be that Hagoromo survived the extraction due to also possessing a powerful life force, but not because of the Mazō? That's the only way I can make sense of it, because if not for Kurama we could simply assume that Obito's information was wrong.
