Naruto was Pein's goal, not Madara's or Itachi's. Itachi might have let Naruto live / stay uncaptured for his own ends. Or Madara may have ordered Itachi to let Naruto stay as he is in spite of Pein's wishes. Don't forget that if the Kyuubi gets sealed, the Mangekyou's ability to control it would prove useless.

The more the manga proceeds, the more I feel that Kishimoto irreparably severed the two plotlines and now is struggling to put them back together.
