Just like Haku did, at the beginning of the series - not only the hitai-ite, but apparently a full hunter-nin/ANBU uniform as well; and Haku was nothing compared to Akatsuki. For that matter, Jiraiya, a known and more-or-less active Konoha nin, doesn't even wear his village's hitai-ite. All I'm saying is, everybody is putting far too much stock into incidental details, determining from what little we know so far what can and can't be so. It's fine to find holes in other people's theories, but I think there are a lot of holes in the supposed debunkings.
