Mecha Naruto wrote: He didn't immediately separate the Ten-Tails chakra into tailed beasts, according to manga after observing Asura's action and when the time was right he decided to separate sealed Ten-Tails chakra into nine tailed beast, so it is sometimes after Asura was born, Kurama is therefore correct he saw the old man using statue's support before dying. I feel like i'm repeating this 100 times. I think the statements aren't contradictory because they allow some wiggle room.


 * We know that the moon was made in a chibaku Tensei. However, Madara removed the Gedo without the moon collapsing. This leaves room that they sealed Kaguya, extracted the chakra (using Six Paths - Preta) to weaken her and left the Gedo only. Hagoromo then acted as the Sage of Six Paths until a time came where he deemed his role was over. He split the chakra and later scattered it.


 * we know that Madara used the Gedo, without being sealed in him, to sustain his life. This leaves the option that Hagoromo went to the moon and stayed on lifesupport from the Gedo until he was ready to die. Or, that he removed Gedo and sealed it inside him, then extracted the tailed beasts and scattered them, then returning Gedo. The second option implies he used Gedo to survive the extraction process.

The third option is that they used Chibaku Tensei to defeat Kaguya, then extracted the chakra, then the Gedo and sealed them in Hagoromo. This makes Hagoromo the Juubi jinchuriki. After deciding his replacement, he creates the Tailed Beast, then after instructing them and scattering them he seals the Gedo in the moon again. After this Hagoromo dies. Hamura devotes his clan to ensuring the Gedo stays sealed while Hagoromo's clan ensures the Tailed Beasts remain separate (Never said, but that's implied)
