Killing Jean doesn’t do Wolverine’s mental health any favors. He moves to the Yukon to live alone in the wilderness while he tortures himself with thoughts of the woman he loved, but was forced to kill.
However, he’s brought out of the wild and to Japan by a rich businessman whose life he saved during World War II. The man, Ichiro, is dying and doesn’t want to. He’s used his immense resources to develop technology that would transfer Wolverine’s healing factor into himself. In an effort to repay his life debt, Ichiro offers Wolverine death. However, when the hero refuses the offer, Ichiro hatches a scheme to take Logan’s healing factor by force.
Having faked his death, Ichiro sends assassins after his granddaughter, Mariko, knowing Wolverine will help her. At the same time, he manages to implant a robot into Wolverine’s body that suppresses his healing factor. Fortunately, Wolverine is able to stop Ichiro’s master plan and regain his powers.
Frankly, this story doesn’t factor into the timeline too much other than in the mid-credits scene.
In 2015, Logan decides to go back to the United States after his romp in Japan. While at the airport, he’s confronted by Magneto, who appears to have his powers. He doesn’t want a fight, though. He’s there with Charles Xavier, who is somehow alive and looks the same despite his body being disintegrated (this will not be fully explained either). Together, they warn Wolverine about an imminent threat to mutants… Trask Industries.
