Eavesdropping in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is one of the core stealth mechanics and also acts as a narrative mechanic of the game. From a certain distance, players will be able to engage and listen in on a conversation of an enemy - this will allow you to either collect information for a quest, clues for certain items, and a few dialogues containing hints about the world of the game. Listed below are areas where Sekiro can eavesdrop.

Ashina Reservoir

"That shinobi at the bottom of the well"

"We didn't shackle him, restrain him, nothing. That doesn't worry anybody...?"

"Not at all. Not only is he unarmed, he's completely lost his will to live."

"Nothing but a coward, unworthy of our concern."

"The moonlight shines strongly on the Moon-view Tower tonight"

"The Divine Heir is probably using the light for his reading again..."

"Probably"

"But imprisoning a mere child... I feel sorry for the boy."

"Agreed. But I'm sure Lord Genichiro has his reasons..."

"The Moon-view Tower door... you checked that it's was locked, right?

"It's certainly locked, but..."

"Nobody fixed that hole in the wall..."

"That? Don't worry about it."

"The hole faces the edge of a cliff. No one could pass through it."

"We just got orders to guard it"

"Security is getting tight"

"War will be upon very soon"

"All right, so... how do I make my escape...?"

"Hmm..."

"... this battle... do you think it can be won?"

"I fear we may not prevail"

"What? We'll be just fine!"

"Look, Isshin may be sick, but he's still going strong. And Genichiro is a terror with a bow."

"And of course, we have Gyoubu the Demon"

"Good point. As long as he's with us..."

"No man could ever breach the Ashina Castle gate."

"I don't feel safe with that big bastard just tied up next to us."

"I'd rather not be gravely injured just before the war begins."

"...if the worst happens, only choice is to use fire."

"Those red eyes fear fire. That's what the lord's proclamations said."

"Proclamations... what a joke. Ashina sure has a funny way of preparing for war..."

... It seems Isshin's illness is indeed grave.

The Land of Ashina will not last much longer, even with Genichiro on our side.

What about our other mission?

... Blackhat is fighting like a demon by the Serpent Valley side of the castle.

Then that's where we're going next.

But keep your wits about you. The Blackhat Badger won't go down without a fight...

"Look... A smoke signal from the great castle gate."

"Is it Lord Gyoubu...?"

"We're really planning to use that thing...in the battle?"

"I know, I know. But what choice do we have."

"Desperate times call for desperate measures. We're in no position to worry about what others might think"

"Yes, but..."

"Hey, keep it together, soldier, Keep talking like that, and they'll put you on its detail."

"And when it's mad, it doesn't discriminate between friend or foe."

"Does that sit well with you?"

"So ... will you keep that from them?"

"But, Orangutan..."

"If i give this to him... He's going to die"

"I heard you were the one that put the armor on that big bugger from Taro Troop."

"Yeah, he was making a stink about it. It was a damned awful job"

"But it looks like it paid off, didn't it?"

"He already had a huge frame and massive strength, and you just made him near impervious to blades."

"That is true, but... He doesn't like that armor, and he sure didn't like me putting on him."

"When a fight happens, it might come off easier than you think."

"Yes, sir... We use it for cooking, of course..."

"But we also use it on wounds and for purifying the dead..."

"So at the rate people are dying... we're out, then?"

"Yes, sir... That's why many on the battlefield are falling ill."

"I see... We'll need to find a way to get some salt then..."

"To protect Ashina"

"He'll abandon everything about who he is, won't he?"

"Yes... I expect no less from my own grandchild."

"... However, I cannot let him use Kuro's blood."

"He can only swing the blade but a few more times..."

"And when that happens, the Tengu will be no more."

"(Crackle) You mean Sekiro?"

"He is a sullen sort, but i can't say I detest the lad."

"In truth, he fascinates me."

      I like this wiki. But this page is very disappointing. There are some missiong evesdrops that seem almosts impossible to miss ( ex. The guy crying about his horse in ashina castle gate ) and for the evesdrops that are present there is no way to understand exactly where and when to get them. Someone...plz fix

        There's a Ministry Rat down at the bottom of the Old Grave area behind Ashina Castle, after Owl invades. You can eavesdrop on him while he hangs from a wall. I think he might be the one who kills Blackhat Badger.

          You can eavesdrop on kuro after the genichiro fight, if you go behind the yellow wall that's behind him and hug the wall

            There's a monk on the bridge near the old grave idol after Ashina is on fire and he talks about betraying Ashina.

              For anyone looking to get the secret dialogue after killing the Demon of Hatred, you have to eavesdrop Emma and Sculptors conversation when Sculptor gets sick the first time with Dragon Rot.
