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. Makes sense.
