Because Chidori doesn't just attract lightning lol and claiming it does it baseless. Sasuke was using lighting chakra, not Chidori(He didn't have enough for any chakra technique) and Sasuke was controlling the lightning to aim it at Itachi so why would it strike him regardless?? durrr.

@Cyberian, already explained why Sasuke being in the field of vision from that distance wouldn't change anything, besides Itachi was looking directly up at Kirin which was brighter than everything else. He wasn't paying attention to Sasuke at that point and Sasuke only had just enough chakra to initiate and launch Kirin at Itachi so from that distance and with Itachi's eyesight I severely doubt he would be able to differentiate anything Sasuke was doing with or without chakra vision.
