[Really, local media? Really?]

Why would anyone write something like that? Who cares about that kind of thing, anyway? Shouldn't the media be focusing on something more important? Something that actually matters?

... and are there really people out there looking at my-- watching me run?

Cut it out.

Really? I learned a lot of useful things that way. You'd be surprised what sorts of things people will tell you when you just listen.

But they weren't talking to me. It would be eavesdropping.

It's not eavesdropping. It's being observant.

Are you sure? Most people don't like others listening in on their conversations.

I'm not talking about deliberately eavesdropping on private conversations. I'm talking about not tuning out what's going on around you. People say a lot of things walking past in the hallway or on the way to school or on a train. And you don't always have to be an active participant to be a part of a conversation.

[ Man, Minato learned all sorts of things listening to other students hanging out by the gate on the way into school.]

[But tuned-out is his default!]

Maybe I'll try keeping an ear out sometime, then. But if I hear anything personal, I'm going to keep walking.
