Demon Brothers

The Demon Brothers (Gouzu and Meizu) are two Chunin Missing-nins from Kirigakure introduced for a very short time before the Zabuza saga, during the Mission to the Land of Waves arc. They attack Team 7 and Kakashi to kill Tazuna, but fail. Team 7 tie them both to a tree and leave.

The Demon brothers are a paragon of coordination attacking. Their large metal gauntlets house a retractable shuriken chain running between the two of them, which they can use to bind an enemy and then slice them to pieces. In the event that the shuriken chain is neutralized, they also have a release mechanism, to free them up for individual attacks. They use the sharp, poisoned claws on their gauntlets to shred their foes. As Kirigakure Chunin, they are renowned for their fighting resolve.

The Demon Brothers are very popular with a lot of fans, even though they only appeared in one episode.
