Chinatsu was now just over 160 centimeters tall. Given the prime growth period for women, she would have to thank her lucky stars if she managed another centimeter or two.
Naruto and Sasuke, on the other hand, were still around 150 centimeters at this point. In another two years, however, their heights would shoot up, overtaking Chinatsu outright.
