And Hagoromo start spreading chakra after she was sealed?

Madara had the 10 Tails, which is Kaguyas chakra Shinju bears fruit every 1000 years. Shinju fruit is made from chakra. Therefore Shinju has chakra. Shinju also absorbs chakra. When Kaguya merged with it she gained whatever chakra it had AND gained the ability to absorb it as well.

from a few translations I've seen, Hagoromo started spreading Ninshu before she was sealed. But not all translations were created equal, so let's ignore that. It's definitely a possibility that they hid the fact that they had chakra and that Kaguya didn't know about it until later on.

You have to remember she was incredibly selfish a little bit crazy. She believed all chakra belonged to her. The logic pretty much follows: Only I have chakra My sons have chakra They came out of me They wouldn't have chakra if they came out of someone else Thats my chakra

Its almost like your buddy gave you $5 an you buy a winning lottery ticket. He didn't give you the lottery ticket, he just provided the means for you to get one.
