So when I first saw _Naruto_ seeing the scene where Kikashi uses his "1000
Years of Pain" on Naruto when he tried to get everyone's lunches when Kakashi
isn't looking i thought this was just some joke made up in Naruto.

the other day watching _A Lull in the Sea_ in Episode 15 I Saw Hikari chasing
Ikari's son doing the same thing saying "kanchou kanchou" and telling Ikari he
was going to give him "3 years of Pain". i also seems to remember seeing
Ikari's son do it do someone

Both Hikari and Kikashi do mostly the same thing, they clasp their hands
together with their index finger pointed out and poke their target in the butt

Now i am wondering where this poking someone in the butt originate from? Is _A
Lull in the Sea_ getting it from _Naruto_ or is it from something else in
Japanese culture

question
naruto nagi-no-asukara
Where did the "# years of pain" originate from?


It is actually a Japanese prank known as kancho.

From the Wikipedia article on [Kancho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kancho).

> Kanchō (カンチョー) is a Japanese prank performed by clasping the hands together
> in the shape of an imaginary gun and attempting to poke an unsuspecting
> victim's anus, often while exclaiming "Kan-CHO!".
>
> The word is a slang adoption of the Japanese word for enema (浣腸 kanchō).

According to [Naruto
Wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/One_Thousand_Years_of_Death):

> This technique's full name is "Konohagakure Hiden Secret Taijutsu Technique:
> One Thousand Years of Death" (木ノ葉隠れ秘伝体術奥義・千年殺し, Konohagakure Hiden Taijutsu
> Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi, Viz: Konohagakure's Most Secret and Sacred Technique:
> One Thousand Years of Death, English TV: Hidden Leaf Village Secret Finger
> Jutsu: One Thousand Years of Death, UK DVD: Secret Ninja Technique of the
> Hidden Leaf School, Death for 1000 Years, English Games "Sacred Taijutsu:
> 1000 Years of Death").

It is mentioned that [Akira
Shiotome](http://naginoasukara.wikia.com/wiki/Akira_Shiotome) (Miuna's
brother) loves playing kancho:

> He enjoys playing kancho with Hikari Sakishima and Shun Sayama and after
> Manaka awakens, the two enjoy playing with each other.

Also, [in the scene where Akira played the
prank](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EglbeKYlg88) in the 15th episode of
Nagi no Asakura, he only said "Kancho". The person who subbed it in English
probably wrote it as "# years of pain" as a tribute to Naruto.
