The only clans we know that existed during the warring period is Senju, Uchiha, Hagoromo, and Sarutobi because they were mentioned during that period. BUT we can assume the Uzumaki, Hyuuga, Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans also existed during that time. The Nara, Yamanaka and Akimichi all are allies so their survival through that period is likely, Hyuuga are also very powerful because of their legendary eyes. Uzumaki feared for their sealing jutsu and are naturally long lived.

I hope the Anime could at the very least mention these clans joining the Senju and Uchiha. The only clan we hear that joined early Konoha are the Sarutobi Clan.
