Tsunade walked gracefully over to the young Mei Terumi. After sizing her up for a few moments, she discovered another rather hard-to-accept fact.
This girl, who looked seventeen or eighteen, was actually a few centimeters taller than Tsunade. Barefoot, she was around 168 centimeters tall.
After a few more years of growth, she would at least reach 170 centimeters, while Tsunade herself was only 163 centimeters tall.
The Ninja World was different from Japan. Japanese men generally preferred petite, cute women, and the ideal female height in Japan was between 150 and 160 centimeters, delicate and demure.
This could be seen from a certain habit shared by Chinese and Japanese celebrities: lying about their height. Chinese actresses liked to report themselves taller, while Japan was the exact opposite.
For example, Yui Aragaki, Uchiha Mai's wife in his previous life, was actually between 173 and 175 centimeters tall, but her official height was listed as only 168.
Because the people of the Ninja World had more cells in their bodies than Earthlings, they developed faster and were a little taller on average. Their beauty standards also differed somewhat from Japan's and were closer to China's.
The ideal height for women in the Ninja World was between 160 and 170 centimeters, allowing them to create the most aesthetically pleasing height difference with the vast majority of Ninja World men.
By that standard, Tsunade's height of 163 centimeters was practically perfect.
The problem was Uchiha Mai. At fourteen, he was already around 168 centimeters tall. Even accounting for early development, he could not possibly end up shorter than 185 centimeters as an adult.
That was a difference of twenty-three centimeters. Not quite a good match.
While Tsunade sized Mei Terumi up, Mei Terumi was also carefully examining Tsunade and comparing her various impressive
