Height comes with a number of implications, benefits and setbacks. It can instill confidence, security or fear. It's also interesting when characters defy stereotypes of height, like David fighting Goliath. As such, it's fun to see how anime characters, like those in Naruto, compare.
The following characters heights originate from Naruto's official Data Books, which make them canon, as well as from the anime mdoel sheets. Each height is based on how tall the characters were in Part I, Part II and the Blank Period (the time between Chapters 699 and 700), as well as the Naruto Gaiden and other Boruto spinoffs that apply.
How Tall Is Team 7?
A good place to start is with Team 7. When Naruto was a child between ages 12 and 13, he was 145.3--147.5 cm (~4 ft 7-8 in), the shortest of his group; by the time he was 15, he shot up to 166 cm (~5 ft 5 in); as an adult, he is 180 cm (~5 ft 11 in).

Suigetsu's recorded heights are 177.4 cm (~5 ft 10 in) and 178.6 cm. Karin goes from 162.6cm (5 ft 4 in) to 166 cm. Jūgo is a whopping 202.1 cm (~7 ft 7 1/2 in), and the series makes a point of it, too; he wears a cloak because nobody can find a shirt big enough for him.
How Tall Is Team Minato?
Kakashi's only listed height is 181 cm (~5 ft 11 in). Rin died at a young age, so she only grew to be 143 cm (~4 ft 6 in). Obito, on the other hand, started off at 154.2 cm (~5 ft 1 in) and grew to 175 cm (~5 ft 9 in) and, later, 182 cm (~5 ft 11 1/2 in). Minato was 179.2 cm (~5 ft 10 1/2 in).

Orochimaru's height swings from 179.4 cm to 172 cm to 179.5 cm, presumably because of all the body-swapping. Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, remains consistently at 163.1 cm (5 ft 4 in); funnily enough, while her height isn't stated in the manga proper, her bust size (106 cm/41.7 in) is.

How Tall are Naruto's Closest Friends?
Naruto's friends have the broadest range of heights, partly because there are so many of them but also because they've all been growing since their introduction in Part I. On Team Guy, Rock lee started at 158.5 cm–162.1 cm (~5 ft 2 in--5 ft 4 in); in Part II, he was 172 cm; by the Blank Period, he hit 177 cm (~5 ft 9 1/2 in).

Shino started at 156.2 cm–161.1 cm (5 ft 1 1/2 in-- 5 ft 3 1/2 in), went up to a decent 175.1 cm, then got up to 186.5 cm (~6 ft 1 1/2 in); this makes him the tallest of the Konoha 11. On two legs, Kiba starts at 151.2 cm–152.5 cm (~4 ft 11 1/2 cm- 5 ft), then grows to 169.1 cm (~5 ft 6 1/2 in), and, finally, ends off at 173 cm (~5 ft 8 in). Akamaru goes from 28 cm–29.1 cm (~ 1 ft) all the way to 127.2 cm (~4 ft 2 in), which Kiba feels makes him big enough to ride. Kurenai is only 169.1 cm, the shortest of the Konoha 11's commanding jōnin.
How Tall is Team Ebisu?
Since Konohamaru and his friends were only little kids in part I, they have some of the shortest human heights in the series. Konohamaru starts at 128.8 cm–130.6 cm (~4 ft 2 3/4 in-- 4 ft 3 1/2 in); by age 12, he grows to be 141.1 cm (4 ft 7 1/2 in), which is even shorter than Naruto when he was at the same age; when he's old enough to train Boruto, he grows to 177.5 cm (~5 ft 10 in).

Ebisu spends the series at a consistent and commendable 181.4 cm (~5 ft 11 1/2).
How Tall Are the Three Sand Siblings?
Gaara is the youngest and thus starts off as the shortest at 146.1 cm–148.1 cm (~4 ft 9 1/2 in-- 4 ft 10 1/4); he grows to around Naruto's height at 166.1 cm; as an adult, he grows to 172.5 (~5ft 8 in) , making him the second tallest Sand Sibling.
