If the moon had the body of the ten tail and kaguya then how was hagamoro the jinchuriki of the ten tails. It shows kaguya and the ten tails sealed separately. kaguya was sealed and created the moon. Then later in life he creates the tailed beasts. He is kept alive by the body of ten tails. But how can the body be there if it was used to create the moon.

Kaguya, upon merging with the Shinju, became the Ten Tails. As I understand it, Hagaromo and Hamura applied their Yin-Yang Release Seal to the Ten Tails, which in light of this chapter seems to have sealed her Rinnegan. They then sealed the incapacitated Ten Tails into Hagaromo. Much later, Hagaromo was inspired by Asura and extracted the Ten Tails' chakra, using Creation of All Things to mold it into the Tailed Beasts. He kept the Ten Tails' body- the Gedo Mazo- in his body in order to survive the extraction. Once he'd sufficiently recovered (though he was still near death), he expunged the Gedo Mazo, and then he sealed it in the moon. the sealing jutsu they used created the moon. what I am saying is kaguya was sealed and created the moon but hagamoro was still a jinchuriki. several years later he then removed the gedo mazou. but it has been previously stated that the ten tails body was used to create the moon. also it was stated that they beat the ten tails and sealed it and then fought kaguya and that makes no sense since they are the same person

I've been wondering that for a while, myself. I think there is an answer. In this chapter the beasts (Juubi's chakra) were removed, leaving the Gedo Mazo/Kaguya to be sealed. I believe this means that in the past, Hagoromo basically become the host of the Juubi's chakra, while he sealed the body into the moon. Near his death, he finally created the Biguu by splitting up the chakra. The only inconsistency I can see with this theory is that Hagoromo survived the extraction without the Gedo Mazo. However, he was dying anyway, so maybe he just used his senjutsu chakra to last long enough to name the Biguu.

Overall, the main problem with my theory is the fact that Kurama hinted that Hagoromo still had the Gedo Mazo in Chapter 656.
