When we were given Kaguya's back story, we were told that Kaguya was initially seen as a savior by the people, hence her moniker, "Rabbit Goddess". She used her chakra to put a stop to all the wars of her era and brought on an era of peace. This is according to Hagoromo, her son. But, something happened sometime after that. We weren't told what, but we were told that she began to use her Infinite Tsukuyomi (by both BZ and Hagoromo) to enslave people against their will, turning them into White Zetsu soldiers. Because of this, people began to refer to her as a "demon". Hagoromo put blame on Kaguya's tremendous power for making her "conceited". My view of this?

She's your classic villain with once good intentions. Kinda like what happened with Frodo and the One Ring. She gained power to save the world, set out to save it, but (as we've seen) became obsessed with the selfish notion that chakra belonged only to her.

Naruto and Sasuke couldn't kill her. Neither could Hagoromo and Hamura. She was immortal; something both herself, Madara, and Black Zetsu stated. Therefore death wasn't an option they had. The only way to deal with something that dangerous, which cannot die, is to lock it away from its power and make sure it never escapes again.

That's all they had left to do.

It was literally let a psychopath immortal, bent on accumulating all power in the world to herself, killing everyone in the process (rather turning them into mindless soldiers), run rampant or lock her crazy ass up. They did the right thing.

I agree. Crazy immortal exists. No Dragon Balls? No Poké Balls? No Master Balls? No zanpaktou? Just seal her away with a mighty planet devastating jutsu. While Kaguya's motives seemed unclear her presence was kind of necessary. Sure we weren't aware of her in the series since the beginnign or start of Part II, but I think it was an important transition from Madara and Obito. All of the details of the series got revealed (ok not all, but close enough) and we became aware that even Madara was a pawn in the grand scheme of shinobi history. I thought it was interesting. Although the focus has shifted (pretty abruptly too) to Naruto and Sasuke it does all seem to make sense when you think about it.
