No, the admiration wasn't made completely obvious to Naruto until Nagato. Naruto was respected by the time they fought the akutsuki that killed asuma. It's also been clear that Itachi has been spying on the village during that time frame. In fact I think it was established of Itachi's perspective of naruto considering he trusted him with sui's eye
