Madara did not have more chakra than Naruto until he became TTJ. Nagato and Kisame had the most chakra in Akatsuki, including Obito. Also if Obito was strong enough he would have forced Nagato to use Rinne Tensei and then take his eye after that, but he didn't because he knew he couldn't. Obito was equal to Madara from his VotE fight with Hashirama minus Kurama's help. Itachi power wise is below Nagato, Madara and Obito, but like I said before this is NOT DBZ and power, chakra levels and speed alone do not dictate the winner or loser of a battle. Obito knew Itachi could kill him. Obito knew Nagato could kill him. Which is why he did not try to take Nagato's eyes by force, or kill Itachi at any point.
