Although I have no doubt that Nagato could have defeated Naruto and Killer B, Naruto before having his soul ripped out could've used a chakra arm to slash the grip Nagato's giant chameleon had on him. Killer B could have transformed into Gyuki to release himself from Nagato's grip. I'm just saying that they could have been saved from those instances without the need of Itachi, but you know plot and all.
