It's not really a defense, but the Naruto world has a rather secretive world (Ninja world) with an even more secretive world (ANBU) and an even more secretive world of Root within that. Kakashi's fame was entirely within the ANBU ranks and the ones that deal directly with that (e.g. S-rank criminals)
