It may be a throwback to the ribbon she used to wear. Ino had given her one when they became friends. Sakura gave it back when they weren't friends anymore. Ino may have returned it one more time and Sakura decided to attach her forehead protector to it to symbolize her friendship with Ino and her growth as a person and ninja.
I'm slightly confused by the timeline of the Naruto universe. When exactly did Orochimaru leave Konoha and when did he actually leave Akatsuki? Somewhere in the flashback one of the Akatsuki stated that Orochimaru left ten years ago, but that would have meant he left before Itachi joined, but the reason Orochimaru left was because of Itachi. So when did he actually leave?
