It may be immediate. Immediately means quickly. Quickly is different from instantly. Just adding.
You're going to need to watch the anime again, I forgot the episode number but if you go to the full fight of Konan vs obito and skip to Konan opening up her sea of paper bombs, you'll see obito tried to faze away, Konan says something along the lines of "I won't let you", paper bombs stick to him, obito is surprised and uses kumai intangibility to let the paper pass. When a kumai user is trying to warp their entire body into kumai their body becomes tangible until they completely warp. Before responding, do have a look at that scene again, you'll see the flaws in it.

im·me·di·ate
iˈmēdēət/
adjective
1.
occurring or done at once; instant.
"the authorities took no immediate action"
synonyms: instant, instantaneous, swift, prompt, fast, speedy, rapid, brisk, quick, expeditious; More
kamui isn't fast enough to warp minato in, so it's not FTG/ameno level speed and obito can't use kamui for more than 5 minuts
No, immediate means instant.
Literal meaning aside, it's usage in the sentence implies "quickly". "Instant" was written to show the vastness of English vocabulary. Words in English language have a lot of synonyms with different literal meanings but with close implications, just like this word. The example you gave is perfect for explaining this. "The authorities took to immediate action". What it more suitable to replace "immediate"? "Quick" or "instant"?
occurring or done at once; instant.
"the authorities took no immediate action"
That's what you assume it implies, but in actuality it is not.
Syn's are the closest thing to the actual definition but not exact, so I'll give you that.
However that's not the case here.
Here is the real definition:
And no, quickly does not suit the sentence, instantly or instantaneously does.
are you saying that if sasuke or minato teleport to obito, he will be able to kamui into his dimension in time? because he won't
kamuing his body parts is instant but kamuing his whole body into the other dimension is not
That's the general implication. Plus, you're only looking at one dictionary definition of your choice. How can you judge the entire usage and context which is so vast just by looking at one definition and no elaboration?
And BTW, "The authorities took no instant action", sounds lame. And over here, "instant" can be used, but the implication and context will be "quick" only, not "in the blink of an eye". This isn't about speed of something.
