After reading the Hidden Cloud history, I'm sure you know there are two factions existent within the village. That being said, this thread is being made to let you know some major themes and whatnot and what clans are allied to which factions.
There are two factions: Loyalists and Rebels
Loyalists are loyal to the Raikage by virtue of the position he holds and the clan alliances that now exist between the Raikage's bloodline and the Yoippari and Yotsuki clans. In addition to those two very powerful clans, most shinobi who don't belong to a clan ally themselves to the Raikage.
Rebels are those who, typically members of older clans, wish to see the Raikage replaced with someone else. They feel that since the same bloodline has held the position for so long and A was Supreme Commander of the Ninja Alliance so long ago that if they are not replaced soon they will make moves to attain more power, perhaps even take over the country. These claims are so far unsubstantiated but the fear of such and the fact that is a real possibility has convinced some shinobi who don't even belong to such clans to grow suspicious of the Raikage.
As far as these involved clans go, the ones who hold any weight are those who existed before the village itself. Those were once powerful clans which earned Kaminari no Kuni the place within the Great Five Nations and ultimately the title of Raikage.
There was previously seven, but now there are six, listed below:
Yotsuki
Yoippari
Fushigi
Yorumon

The seventh was the Raikage's clan before it was eliminated by the Hachibi during the Shodai's time.
Clans are going about making deals and forming alliances to achieve their ends since, now that D was made Raikage, seems to be absolutely necessary. D's elevation to the position really pisses off the rebels because it shows the Raikage's bloodline's disregard for the other clans that they would elevate an inexperienced boy opposed to one of their experienced clan heads or shinobi.
There is a third, semi-faction existing in the Council.
Kumogakure has a very archaic structure. Something like a monarchy if we look at it since all the Raikage have been of the same paternal line. Around them is the Council, chosen initially by the Shodai to be the leaders of the six Greater Clans of Kumogakure. Since then, few positions have been added, including the three Head Ninja who can have varying allegiances since they may or may not be allied to any one clan.
Aside from the Head Ninja, the ninja on the Council enjoy a great bit a power at the appointment of the Kage so they have conflicting allegiance either to him or their own clans.
