How Did Hagoromo Defeat The Ten-Tails And Why?

Question

Delilah · Answer

Seeing Hagoromo’s choices through a human lens makes them feel less like godlike spectacle and more like responsible leadership. He and Hamura confronted Kaguya when she’d become the Ten-Tails and used world-altering sealing methods to imprison the creature — the moon and the husk imagery signals that the monster’s body was neutralized and locked away. But Hagoromo didn’t stop at containment. He deliberately divided the Ten-Tails’ chakra into nine separate entities, the tailed beasts, and then promoted a philosophy of sharing and teaching chakra. I find that compelling: instead of hoarding power, he redistributed it and tried to instill moral guidance. The tactical reason was obvious — breaking the monster’s power into pieces makes accidental resurrection or domination far harder — and the moral reason was to give humanity freedom and responsibility, which fits neatly with the later conflicts you see in 'Naruto'.

I like to think of Hagoromo as both warrior and teacher. He didn’t simply destroy the Ten-Tails — he sealed its massive physical form away and then took its chakra and broke it into smaller, manageable pieces (the tailed beasts). The sealing prevented immediate destruction, while splitting the chakra was a strategic safeguard against concentration of power. He wanted to stop tyranny and give people a chance to grow, which is why he opened the path to chakra education instead of keeping the power for himself.

I always think of Hagoromo as someone who solved a cosmic problem with both force and foresight. He and his brother faced the Ten-Tails after Kaguya’s transformation, and they used tremendous chakra mastery and sealing techniques to subdue it — imagine pulling the monster apart spiritually and locking its body away so it couldn’t rampage anymore. That physical containment is often represented by the moon and the husk left behind.

But the cleverer move was what came next: Hagoromo split the Ten-Tails’ chakra into the nine tailed beasts. He didn’t do it to punish the world; he intentionally dispersed that raw power so no single entity could become all-powerful again. On top of that he tried to teach people how to use chakra responsibly through ninshu. So his defeat of the Ten-Tails was twofold: a seal to stop the immediate threat and a long-term redistribution to minimize future risks and encourage balance in humanity.

Whenever I replay flashbacks from 'Naruto' I focus on the two layers of Hagoromo’s solution. First layer: raw suppression — he used overwhelming spiritual and chakra power plus sealing techniques to imprison the Ten-Tails’ physical form and stop its rampage. That’s the immediate victory. Second layer: risk mitigation — instead of destroying the chakra, he split it into nine tailed beasts. That fragmentation lowered the chance of a single entity harnessing ultimate power, and allowed Hagoromo to guide future generations through teaching. Practically, the split made resurrection or total domination much harder; philosophically, it showed his belief that shared knowledge and distributed power can prevent cycles of oppression. It’s a clever combination of technique and ethics, and it explains why the world later struggles with tailed beasts rather than a single all-powerful monster.

There’s something almost mythic about how Hagoromo handled the Ten-Tails — I still get chills picturing that ancient confrontation. In the story, he and his brother confronted their mother, who had become the Ten-Tails by merging with the God Tree. They didn’t just brute-force kill it; they used a combination of overwhelming chakra, sealing techniques and spiritual power that later came to be associated with the Six Paths. Together they immobilized and sealed the monstrous body, effectively converting the physical husk into the moon while imprisoning the entity’s raw destructive force.

After that, Hagoromo deliberately separated the Ten-Tails’ chakra into smaller pieces — the nine tailed beasts — rather than trying to annihilate it. That decision wasn’t only tactical: he wanted to prevent any single person (or god) from hoarding that power again. He also taught people ninshu, hoping that shared understanding and distributed power would stop cycles of domination. So the ‘how’ is sealing plus chakra partitioning, and the ‘why’ is both practical (containment) and philosophical (giving humanity a chance to grow without one absolute ruler).
