Everything in Gaiden says he is not, the fact that he has a family and home in the leaf is self explanatory let's not play dumb.
If the only reason you refuse to associate him with the leaf is to prove that he doesn't take orders from Naruto then don't bother, because clearly Gaiden showed that he is part of the leaf but he still doesn't take orders from anyone, but rather gives them.
Sasuke never accepted his head band at 699 either he said he would return it to naruto after they settled things. remember the entire reason Sasuke took it off in part 1 was because he rejects the leaf. the manga never stated you can be unmarked as a missing nin either. he is just associated with the leaf similar to Jiraiya
