Shinobi Way

This is a drawing of Naruto from episode 80.

The hokage sacrificed himself in a battle against a villain, removing him of his powers (jutsu). Naruto often looked up to the hokage, especially as he desires to be one. I remember Naruto saying that it's against the shinobi way to show their emotions, and I thought that was particularly peculiar.

Is it against the shinobi way to care for something?

I guess I will find out in the episodes to come
