Demon Brothers

From Narutopedia

• Name: Demon Brothers (鬼兄弟, Oni Kyōdai)
• Members: Gōzu and Meizu
• Affilation: Mercenaries, previously Kirigakure
• Status: Presumed Incarcerated

The Demon Brothers, Gōzu and Meizu are two Chūnin Missing-nin introduced during the Land of Waves arc. They were Kirigakure ninja, but assisted Zabuza Momochi in defecting from the village. They subsequently worked with Zabuza in assassinations. Zabuza sends them to kill Tazuna, but they are stopped by Team 7. Team 7 ties them both to a tree for them to be arrested and leave.

The brothers are a paragon of coordination attacking. Their large metal gauntlets (Gōzu wears the gauntlet on his right hand while Meizu wears his on his left) 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.
