It seem to me that Hagoromo and his brother were twins, growing different hair styles to differentiate one from the other. What happened is that the figure who distributed chakra amongst the people and was registered in the Uchiha table as Hagoromo was in fact his brother.

The truth is that neither Hagoromo or his brother could defeat the Shinju or completely seal it within themselves but if Hagoromo were to die and the people were to lose hope in his ability to save them from the Juubi then the Shinobi Sect would crumble.

What happened is that at a crucial moment in battle when Hagoromo was incapacitated, his brother took on his persona and sacrificed himself to seal part of the Juubi inside him and distribute it's power amongst the people.

His twin brother choose to protect Hagoromo's peace from the shadows at the expense of his own identity thus allowing Hagoromo to defeat the weakened Juubi and seal it inside himself, paving the way for his beliefs to prosper.

Hagoromo respected his brother's will to remain an obscure figure for the sake of strenghtening Ninshu's influence, it parallels how Itachi choosed to remain a shadow in Konoha for his brother to restore peace and order upon the Uchiha. Hence there was never any mention of a second Sage in the records Madara read.World Master (talk) 21:20, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
