Kaguya had no problem with them having been born with chakra, otherwise she would have killed them right away. It was probably Hagoromo giving chakra, that he had inherited from her, to mere humans, that pissed her off. The earliest reference i can find is from N665 where Madara explains that Hagoromo spread his chakra. It gives no timeline on this though.

Elveonora wrote: Hell the manga even implies that Kaguya was sealed after Indra and Asura's birth. No, Hagoromo's explanation tells clear that Kaguya first ate the fruit, then gave birth, then had two sons of his own. (N670).

Hagoromo's explanation also shows that Kaguya stopped war with her own power, which is implied to be the IT. She continued to rule the world until she became feared and hated, and obsessed with power. Hence, she tried to take back that power.

When Ninshu came around is not clear. But it seems inherently linked to sharing chakra, so if we know one we know the other. I'm trying to find databook stuff on this, but i'm also failing at that so far.

Either way, it seems to me that Hagoromo spread chakra to weaken the Juubi. When he was about to die, rather than risk letting it run amok, he split it into 9 beings.

Furthermore, the 4th databook entry on Chibaku Tensei specifies that it was used to seal the Juubi's body into the moon, just as the entry on Hamura specifies that he went to the moon to guard the Statue.

We know that the Rinnegan can summon the Gedo Statue. Seems to me that Hagoromo simply summoned it in order to survive biju extraction (since else he probably wouldn't survive until it was complete), then placed it back in the moon. We know from SP:CT's use by Naruto and Sasuke that it rips out the chakra and binds the body. it makes no sense that he would absorb it all immediately moments after splitting it.
