No offense, but I have enough faith in humanity to believe than even most 10 years old can figure it out. He just said that Naruto's life is more important than others because both of them are needed to seal Kaguya. If he had to choose over Sakura or Naruto's life, he would choose the latter for the sake of the whole world. That doesn't mean he doesn't care about her. He will help her when she is in trouble for as long as she isn't getting in the way.
