Both these manga talk about ninja life. It is a cruel, inhumane life, simply because human lives are easy to take. Money and mission reign supreme in the priority order of shinobi. Shinobi no Kuni has lots of blood, darkness. And both are amazing to read.

It shows detailed and often historically accurate depictions of ninja clans and of their relationships with the Shogunate ( Bakufu ). Plus shinobi on shinobi action. However, I'd say Basilisk is easier to delve into but Shinobi no kuni is more rewarding and feels more original to Japanese values such as the loyalty, sacrifice. It's more adult and made me cry in the end, no easy feat for a manga.

If you liked Shinobi no kuni, chances are you'd like Vagabond and vice versa. They both have a more subdued type of humor mixed in with unabashed violence. Both also contain characters which are, thankfully, not black and white. They both have excellent pacing, with "Shinobi no Kuni" being the shortest and more fast pace one. Strongly recommend both of them!
