@Da Best Ever, obviously Nagato has more power than Itachi. But while Itachi was in Akatsuki, he was sick and becoming blind at some point. He was better off spying than killing the other members. If he were to fight Nagato, even if he were to win by some luck (Nagato had alot of power but was seriously nerfed. At best, since Itachi knew his secret, he would have to somehow distract the 6 paths and just go after Nagato himself. Nagato was crippled and totally drained by using the rinnegan, that's why he relied on the paths to fight for him. If Itachi did that, I guess he could easily kill Nagato who himself is in no condition to fight either), it would take alot out of his eyes. Itachi was fighting to live just long enough to fight Sasuke and transplant some powers to him. I don't think he would risk wasting his MS on an attempt to kill Nagato. Especially when that would blow his cover and the other Akatsuki members would gang up on him as well. He wouldn't be able to kill all of them if they were to all go against him (and they probably would all go against him at the same time, they would just call others for help). I do realize that Kakazu got away w/ killing his partners, but the case is different for Itachi. Kakazu was known to be hot-headed. Itachi was not. He was calm and level-headed. The other members would think something was up if he randomly started killing people off in the organization. Especially considering that he was a part of Konoha's Anbu. They would probably piece it all together if he attempted to kill other members, it's not that easy.
nagato could fight the same way his edo self did, he could use all his summons to move around and use asura paths ability to move too...they were not the same...but i get your point about itachi not being able to actual see nagato other than the pains but i do think that something about that is fail logic because itachi wanted obito dead and he spent almost as much time with obito as nagato did so why did he use tsukoyami on him...and taking out the head is what matters, the other shinobi wouldnt knw how to run the akatsuki if nagato and obito were gone and the others would be eventually killed or captured because their were shinobi from the 5 great nations that are capable of beating them akatsuki members i nagato and obito were dead, and itachi did a piss poor job at spying becaus ehe told konoha nothing about the akatsuki so he shoul dhave just sacrificed himself to defeat the main bad guys which would have stopped this war...and itachi can at least defeat most of them at the same time, like hidan, konan, zetsu, kakuzu and deidara at least he would be taking out most of the problem
