During Pain's destruction of Konoha, he fought Naruto. When fighting Naruto,
Pain hurt Hinata which made Naruto get mad. After a couple of seconds of being
mad Naruto started to transform into Kyuubi.

How many tails did he transform to? I've heard and seen people say that he
only got six tails, but I always thought he got all nine of them. Or almost
got nine, until his dad stopped the transformation.

How many tails did Naruto get during his fight with Pain?


We see Naruto reaching six tails and fighting Pain, that much is certain.  
The wiki claims that after that, we see eight tails, here:

And we later on see Yamato's hand with the number nine, to which he says he
was too late.  
However, due to Minato's interference, we do not see Naruto with nine tails.

So, yes, Naruto has gone onto nine tails (He in fact wanted to remove the
seal), but we do not see it, and Minato stops it very quickly.

When Naruto's fight with Pain reaches it's peak, Pain uses one of the Sage of
Six Paths move called **_Chibaku Tensei_** and to overcome the Heavenly body
that traps him, Naruto while in 6 tails form is tempted by Kyubi who offers
him complete power of the 9 tails in exchange for ripping apart the seal and
Naruto does that

Now keep in mind that he hasn't torn apart the seal completely it might be 99%
broken, that is the seal is still in place and before Naruto breaks the seal
100% his dad appears and reseals Kyubi by means of his own Chakra that he had
added to the seal before he passed away at the time of Naruto's birth.

So he reaches 8 tails completely and 9 tails to about 99%, also we can confirm
that Naruto almost completely reached 9 tails during the fight because
Yamato's palm has the sign for 9 appear, and he says that ' _it's too late_ '

Naruto fight with pain cause him to get nine tails. But when he got all nine,
he didn’t die or turn into the Kyuubi, instead he was being controlled and
forced to break the seal. Fortunately, minato sealed his remaining chakra into
Naruto as a baby just in case for this specific situation so he’d reseal the
Kyuubi. Same as when he sealed kushina chakra into Naruto to help with the
fight Naruto had with the Kyuubi.
