"Peril! Bunshin no Jutsu" (危機！分身の術, Kiki! Bunshin no Jutsu; Viz "The Ninja Split") is the sixty-second chapter of Part I of the Dragon Ball manga.
Summary[]
Hot in pursuit of each other, Murasaki kaes a hasty retreat from Son Gokū. Hiding behind a smokescreen and quickly striding across a pirahna-infested lake, the ninja taunts Gokū only for the young monkey-boy to leap across the lake with no effort. Truly becoming desperate, Murasaki whistles into the air, and tells Gokū he will reveal his ultimate technique. Making a hand sign, he announces the Bunshin no Jutsu, and multiple copies of him appear from behind.
With multiple attacks coming from every angle, Gokū is forced to conclude that every Murasaki is real. They confirm this, stating that they are, in fact, quintuplets. The siblings make a move on Goku, only to find out that Gokū can use the real Bunshin no Jutsu, and he deftly handles the entire group. The final remaining Murasaki flees to Android No. 8, demanding he kill Gokū.
