If I'm right, the village never saw their leader, Pain. So, maybe they were controlled by Obito after Nagato's and Konan's death and during the war, maybe they just operated their village as how their leader ordered them to. And after the war, maybe the allience took care of the village with a new leader or something?

But if that's not it, then maybe the village will use the eldest of their shinobi or go for a voting system.

The hidden Rain weren't the only village to be without a leader though, The hidden Sound, that was left without a leader, with everyone being notified that he died. Yet nothing about the sound ever came, other than it's people being freed and Mitsuki being a tranferred student from there.
